MIL rant

Let me start this by saying I had a traumatic pregnancy, birth and postnatal period. I was bed bound for my whole pregnancy, had to give birth under GA and have spent the 16 weeks of my baby’s life with an open c-section wound with a big drain I have to carry around. I almost died because of this infection. On top of this I’m getting my gallbladder removed this month so is constant agony and taking slow-release morphine for the pain. Every time I see my MIL she is so judgemental about the lack of exercise I’m doing. She tells me every time that I have to go on long walks each day for the sake of my baby. I can’t even walk around a supermarket. She knows this. What’s wrong with people? I’m SICK of being shamed.

Show your support

Fuck that! She doesn’t get round till she can be nice or your feeling better. This is your time and you don’t need to host an over grown child

Tell her to take a long walk, away from you.

@Donna 😆

Tell her to take a long walk off a short pier. Nah seriously insert some boundaries & get hubby to back you up because mental state is no joke especially pp. Right now you need positive & supportive people around that are going to add to your cup. Not drain you like a starving vampire. Also I’m super proud of you! I think you’re doing amazing by the sounds of everything that’s been thrown your way. I’m sorry things were so rough during this time and that your monster in law is so toxic. You got this mama!

Thanks girls! 🥰💜

Get your husband to tell her to mind her own business unless she’s going to be practical useful

Sometimes the best way to deal with these things is blunt and to the point. Tell her to shut up or get out of your damn house. You don’t need this negativity. You need a support network around you and she sounds about as supportive as a strapless maternity bra!
