Funny things my MIL says

[Anonymous]

"Sports are so great for the chubby girls!"

Said in a conversational tone near other parent spectators at DDs sooner game.

Soccer game

That I really have nothing to worry about because, all the girls DH introduced to them before me, looked the same, brunettes like me.

Wtf?

Um gross. Does she get that you and DH engage in physical activities that she presumably doesn't with her son!?

Needless to say, that's why I'm pretty sure I'm secure in first place! That and she can't cook, clean AND she was a terrible mother (per DH). She also tells us that SIL is jealous of her and that's why they don't get along. She's pretty much delusional.

Women and their sons!

Except when you husband tosses you out on your ass, you'll be the ex-wife. She'll still be his mom.

Pretty sure after 23 years and 2 kids this won't happen, but if it does, at least He'll be stuck with that bitch and I won't!

"Your friends are so beautiful and successful. Just like me."

I probably did but still it makes me giggle and smile ---

"You really hit the jackpot"

this is not a reference to family wealth, DH family is dirt poor.

'I had a feeling last night that my grandson was sad to go to preschool! How was he today?'

She's does this during our regular family FaceTime calls - sometimes it's a dream. Basically she tries to pretend she is psychically linked or something. And knows how her grandson is feeling.

Aw, that's actually kinda sweet.

I am trying to find the CDs, it was about 10 years ago. I remember Celine Dion and Red Hot Chili Peppers were on it.

My inlaws are divorced, my MIL is very worried about my marriage, she wants us to be happy and married for life. She is very supportive, so supportive she is always asking re our sec life. She has given me karma sutra and tantric sex books. So there is that too.

As I was 8 cm dilated and still planning to vaginally deliver she pulled my husband aside and said "we need to get her out of here, these whack-a-doodle doctors think that a ________ (insert family name here) baby can fit through those skinny underdeveloped white hips?!?!

did you end up delivering vaginally? just curious. your MIL is a nut job.

Clarification: I know what don't get cross with me means, I just wonder why it is remarkable or related to being WWII generation. Can you explain?

My MIL was feeling very awkward about my recent m/c and we saw her for the first time since then this weekend. She took me aside, gave me a great big hug and told me that "God takes the defective ones off the assembly line" ... No words. I know she means well, but there are just no words
