[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and the weekend went ok.  MIL wouldn't let me nurse in a bedroom (in the vein of "no, don't take my baby away!") so I had to just nurse in the dining room and I got a lot of comments from MIL on my breasts.  But, DD was fed so it is what it is, we dealt with it and there was less drama than I was afraid there would be.

Unfortunately, apparently BILs entire family was sick but we weren't told about it until we were there for a few hours on Saturday so now DD is sick and generally pretty miserable.  Gotta love family![/quote]

What kind of comments?[/quote]

[b]Plenty of comparisons of my breast size to SILs to MILs. 
Loud announcements of "the boobs are out again"
Discussion of how much my daughter must love my boobs since she eats from them so often. [/b]

Nothing terrible but it was a running commentary all weekend. [/quote]

:shock: 
This MIL is seriously in the running for worst MIL I've heard about on DCUM... and that is really saying something.
OP, you are a class act to rise above. I think if it had been me, after the first boob comment, I would have said, "MIL, if you make one more comment about my breasts, or my breastfeeding, we are leaving." If she had (and of course this woman WOULD have--she's mentally unhinged on this subject) I would have not said a word. Just gathering up baby, stuff, and DH, and left.[/quote]
