My in-laws are getting on my nerves

Question

any time we talk about my pregnancy in front of my in-laws they always say you know its gonna be a boy, or if someone says I wonder what brandy is gonna have. They always say oh its a boy. This really gets on my nerves!!! what should I do. Anyone else ever feel the same???

Answer 1

I dont think there is a day that goes by that my mother in law does not get on my nerves. All you have to do is just learn to ignore them! How far along are you? Do you know what your having yet? They will be happy either way they are the grandparents right now they just want to be right about everything! GOOD LUCK!

Answer 2

okay that sounds pretty annoying. i mena they don't know if its a girl. they should keep there mouth shut because you are the one who is pregnant not them. they are asking you wheather its a boy or a girl not them.

Answer 3

i would find out what it is and if its a boy dont worry about it but if its a girl tell her shes wrong and that its a girl. good luck!  

Answer 4

the only good solution is to just ignore it.  If you say something to them about how it bothers you they may take it wrong, and there is no way of avoiding the subject.  They are as happy and anxious about the new arrival as you are.  If that is all their doing, that's not so bad.  Now, if you do have a boy then you will have to put up with the, "I told you it would be a boy!"  Just smile and say," yes you did".  Agreeing with them might take the steam out of their sails.

Answer 5

Well I am a little more outspoken. It isn't my in-law but my husbands step mother (they live in Sweden) gets on my nerves everytime they visit or email or anything. They actually thought or wanted whichever for me to have a girl (I am having a boy). But she asks private questions in front of my whole family and friends about wether I am breastfeeding and hemmorhoids etc....I had to tell her that it was mine and my baby's business and that I would rather not speak to her about it. She was a little angry for a day or two but she got over it.

Answer 6

Thank goodness I didn't have this problem! My mother-in-law live far away and it was rare we saw each other. Just smile and say 'you could be right' and change the subject. You could move you know.

Answer 7

i feel ya. my boyfriend's family "only produces boys". well when i was pregnant, EVERYONE was saying it. unfortunately i had a miscarriage. but next time, i'll be prepared, and be praying for a girl! good luck

Answer 8

I would say something smart to them the next time they say it in front of some one else to make them feel foolish.  Like "They are hoping for a boy so much I hope they aren't too disappointed if it is a girl".  Or "Yes, suddenly they can tell a babies s*x while it is still in the womb"...that should shut them up.  Remember, you are a hormonal mess, and it is ok to be irritable.

Answer 9

Oh yeah.  My mother-in-law was like that both times I was pregnant.  In fact, I used to get along with her until my first pregnancy.  I've hated her ever since.  Just try to smile and be nice.  You can secretly think about what a dumb-*** she is.

I have to see my in-laws this weekend.  I'm going to really drunk, its the only way to cope.  Good luck, I know it sucks!
