just wondering....

ChanelShades

I do not mean to gross you out. But I am just wondering.....my FMIL asked me if I am on my period when I was at her house. I said maybe. Then she KEPT asking until I gave her an answer. How would you feel? Or am I just getting upset over little things? I just feel like it is my personal business. No one else's. Adding fuel to the fire is that when my FI told her 2 months ago that we were engaged, she asked him if I was pregnant. Grrr. If I am overreacting then that is fine. But who does that?

That's really inappropriate.  I would have told her it was absolutely none of her business and I was not going to speak to her about that.

What?  Why would she want to know?  And why would she push the topic?? 

That is so strange, and icky.  I would feel really uncomfortable. 

Ask her if she's hit menopause yet.

I like M & R's idea ask her if she's hit menopause yet. Make her feel uncofortable. That was very rude & disrespectful on so many levels

Sounds like she's assumed that you are pregnant, no matter what your FI has told her, and she's checking up to see if she's right or not. I would be honest with her, and tell her that you consider it to be a private matter that you are not comfortable with discussing. She sounds like she might not know how to take a hint.

Totally not appropriate, and I think there's nothing wrong with politely explaining to her that, well, it's impolite to make such an inquiry.

Ditto the PP, though, could it be she's trying to find out if you're pregnant? I'm not saying that justifies her being so rude, but I really have no idea why else anybody would ask something like this.

In my family, that would be a 100% inappropriate question to ask anyone, anytime.  But some families are just waaaaaaaaay more open about conversations like this. 

Is it possible that she doesn't see anything wrong with asking such a ridiculously personal question, because their family puts everything and anything out for public discussion?

Well, I'm the smart ass that would just answer "no, not yet"  LOL... keep her wondering since its not any of her freaking business

She will probably keep track of the dates so she can tell/guess when you do get pregnant.

Wow, that goes beyond creepy!  I don't want some other woman keeping track of my cycle.   

She does sound like she's expecting a baby.  Only is it in a good or bad way?

maybe her plumbing got backed up. lol

That is beyond rude. I agree with pp's, so I would just watch out. Does she not like you or something? This could also be a bigger issue if she is trying to monitor your cycle, like when you guys have kids (if you are, of course). And to me, that is none of anyone's business except you and your hubby's.

Right.  Who does that?  Weird and definitely inappropriate. That is definitely your personal business.

this makes me speechless... what's wrong with her? and yes, def ask her if she hits menopause yet. and if she ignores you, make sure you keep pushing the topic :P

and seriously, it's none of her business... even if she sees tampon packages in the trash can, she still shouldn't ask anything!

jedaniel

I would just say "trust me when were expecting we'll tell you" and not answer her period question. Crazy! I would be speechless.

Thanks ladies for the hilarious responses! I think I am asking if she hit menopause the next time I see her hehehe. HILARIOUS! I didn't flush anything down her toilet. It wasn't a plumbing issue. I never dispose of my stuff in her home.

She always says rude things. She is the "Queen Bee" type. You know, the kind that thinks she can say whatever to whomever! The kind of person that thinks her son's business is her business, and since I am marrying her son--- my business is her business. I just think she really wanted to know if I was pregnant. I think she believes he asked me to marry him bc I am pregnant. However, I am not and I am HIGHLY offended.

I feel better after reading all of your responses! Thanks for putting the smile back on my face!
