[quote=Anonymous]My MIL was so demanding when I was pregnant. Not even remotely concerned about my wellbeing. There were several situations where she was demanding something specific and I was having trouble meeting the demand due to my pregnancy, and she'd get annoyed or mad when it was brought up.

Like they came to visit us at one point, and she wanted to go to the zoo to see the pandas. I had gained about 25 lbs at that point and had major water retention, so long walks were kind of tough for me. I tried suggesting I stay home from the zoo but she made it clear that she thought that would be rude. So I went, but then if I asked if we could sit down for a minute, or if I could rest and then catch up with them, she'd get visibly irritated and be hurrying us along. My feet hurt! I was tired. She did not seem to care that I was gestating a human (her first and only grandchild) and maybe needed a freaking break.

Just multiple times her getting mad at me because I was taking a nap or moving slowly late in my pregnancy, or because I bowed out of things. At one point she got made because they were going to a casino for the night and I chose not to go and she wanted to know why and I explained that there was smoking at the casino and I didn't want to spend the night around cigarette smoke while 8 months pregnant. She just stared at me like I was some intolerable prima donna.

So weird. She's actually much more normal now, but she was c-r-a-z-y when I was pregnant. It took me a solid two years after that before I could stop being resentful about it.[/quote]
