Wedding Woes

Oh goodness (MIL related vent)

We're in trouble.  And this is going to get long.  We have a blog where I randomly post pics of DD.  It's not frequent (maybe 4x/month).  I also put misc. articles up, or stories about the dogs.  Nothing to be jealousE over.  I've posted maybe 5 times in the last month.

Anyways, my most recent photos were of DD this weekend.  MIL sent H and me an email saying, "I'm all butthurt that you didn't tell me DD is walking."  I emailed back, "Yes, she is walking and has been for about/over a month."  She says, "Well, but why didn't you tell me?!?!"  I didn't dignify her whining with an email response.  H can deal.

You know, lady, be glad I post on that frackin' blog at all.  I hate having a blog, but H insists it's the best way to communicate with everyone.  Um, no.  Everytime I post, I still get 10 responsive emails I have to answer - "Where'd you get her bathing suit?"  "Is she walking?"  "Does she eat vegetables?"  "Is your dog really that dumb?"  "Where's [H] - why isn't he in any photos?"  Etc.  

And I won't even go into the fact that this is OUR child and OUR memories and OUR traditions and OUR family.  Babies grow up - that's just what they do.  So if I forget to tell her something that DD is doing, it's b/c it's not important.  Walking = normal behavior.  If she were sketching blue prints of the Eiffel Tower, I might mention that.  

So anyways, I called H and said, "You need to deal with your mother and her butthurt feelings."  H says, "I didn't know Jesus allowed anal sex.  But I'll call her."

I hope he handles it better than I would.

    What's up with that?  Is it that she wants bragging rights?  My mom was all OMGWTFBBQ at DD walking with a push toy, and FIL wants DH to call him "the second that child starts walking."  I don't understand any of it, and I don't understand your MIL's butthurtedness, either.

    Oh FFS. She needs to calm it down.

    You're so right about our MIL's being BFFs if my MIL was yay for Jesus.

    Oh lord.  I'd have to make him keeper of the blog...and his family.

    This is my boss. She wanted to know everything about my recent fun and good times. Jesus be a boundary, woman. (She also told me all about her medical issues. Lady, I didnt' ask.)

    I'm glad your H is on it. I don't think it would end well for anyone if you unleashed angry Nico Leg on your MIL.
