I recently had a baby shower where my JNMIL had a mild outburst after I thanked my mother (who threw the shower) Although I don’t feel comfortable sharing details here for anon purposes, I would love to hear some of your MIL Baby Shower Outburst stories to make me feel like I’m not alone in this crazy scenario.
On a side note, I hate feeling like I have to pick apart everything my MIL does but on her card for our gift she wrote, “This is such a blessing to our family.” OUR family. My baby is a blessing to their family…okay. Maybe I’m being too nitpicky, but it honestly hurts with all the manipulative stuff she’s done the past two years. I hate feeling like I’m just a breeder for HER family.
