So, I've posted a few posts b4 saying that my in-laws live with me. Pretty much since its still summer, the people that stay at the house the whole day are my mother-in-law(she doesn't work), her 10 month old baby girl, 8 year old boy, and 15 year old boy.

Well since the house is practically my in-laws since all their furniture is in the living room, as well as kitchen, my mother-in law cleans up the house(except my room obviously) and cooks, and well since I've been sick the summer with morning sickness since I was pregnant, then had a miscarriage last week, she always cooks enough food for the family. Shes a really good person, she would even offer to do my laundry.

So, anyway this Monday that I got home, she was in the kitchen cooking, and she asked how i was doing, and I answered her that I was better, then I hear a scream sooooo loud! And I've noticed that ever since the miscarriage I get scared very easily. So I like jump, and I turn to where the scream is coming, and it was her lil girl screaming with her 8 year old son, so then my mother in law yells at the 8 year old, and well we finish talking and I go to the room.

Well ever since that day whenever I get home, she's been in her room with the door closed, and the baby girl with her! She still cooks, and everything, but I haven't even seen her. And well I go to my room and wait for my hubby, then when my hubby is going to eat, she's still in the room or outside. Is she mad at me or something? Does she notice that I may get bugged cause her lil girl is such a crybaby! Or does she know that I may not want to be around babies cause of my miscarriage? Cause seriously I don't want to be around babies, it breaks my heart, and then I get home and I see the lil girls shoes around the house, toys, stroller I mean I don't need to see that. Or is she mad at me? But why?

  1. sounds to me like she is just trying to be respectful of your situation.  She knows that you have just gone through a very traumatic time in your life and is trying to give you some space.

    Why don't you knock on her door and ask if she is okay or if you can get her something.  maybe she is feeling a bit overwhelmed with cooking, cleaning, tending to babies etc. . .  and needs a break.


  2. She probably isnt mad at you.... just trying to respect the fact that you went through something heartbreaking, and that her little daughter probably reminds you of what happened...

    she is probably just trying to be thoughtful of your feelings and what you are going through

    you should talk to her about it.
