first off it was DH's grandma(GMIL) not his dad's wife.  2nd I only saw her at family functions while pregnant and yes I brought my U/S to show to family.  Why should I have to hide my U/S because she choose to act like a fool. Sorry Laurie how am I wrong wanting to show off my baby a baby that took a very long time to have.  I should be able to show her off proudly.   Was it a slight towards my IVF I don't think so but maybe it was.  She was very angry with DH and I for what we did.  Was it about my prochoice thinking oh I think so.



GMIL "NO scinentist what do they call babies again?"

Me " a fetus"

GMIL "Begins her rant about abortion"

That was what was said DH was talking with his Aunt (creepy Uncle's wife) and Grandma, being nice trying to include the woman who told my hubby to go to confession.  Yeah I was being the better person and she couldn't be.   Yes she knew my point of view by then and I didn't take the bait.  Did she know that name I have no clue.  Fine think it but you should never talk about to the M-2-B.

Well Sassy do you see how it's easy to become offended when someone was not attempting to offend you?  I went back and looked  you have  changed your wording but there is really no need in becoming offended  when I said that you would  need to clarify in order to understand the progression of events.

Where  did I ever say that you were  'wrong' for wanting to show someone your undeveloped baby pictures?  Personally I think it would be more polite to say hey would you be interested in seeing them ..  Personally photos of my dil's uterus is not what I find conversation worthy.   I said you were wrong for expecting a different response.

What is the age of this gmil?

I don't see what ages has to do with anything.  Personally I hate when people use that excuse "There old and set in there ways."  Doesn't give a person the right to be rude, mean and pushy.

And I didn't get rude mean or pushy to her.  Nope I was polite so I don't get what your getting at.

What I really wanted to do that first time was not show her at all but I was the bigger person. This was at her DH"s dad's suprise party.(if i said christmas I was mistaken)

The 2nd time was at Christmas I showed the fam the video of DD sucking her tumb.  She said it during the video.  Dh asked if his family wanted to see it.

3rd time was DH's party at his house I don't remember her saying anything then if she saw it I showed some family but can't remember her during that

Last pics I got where at my shower and she got the book before I could stop her. 

It wasn't like I had 20 ultrasunds I had like 4 or5 and she saw the first 3 at

LaurieS

Actually you weren't but that would be a different topic.... it's all in how you chose to view it... I see baiting, you see .. I'm not sure what you see.. but I took your postings as rude, so rude is how I get to view it.

Laurie your losing me now.  So showing a picture to the future great grandma is rude?  Wow I didn't know trying to show her the picture to include her even after she was rude to dh wasn't ok.  I don't see how showing a picture of my baby is rude?

I view your defensive rantings and attackings of anyone who dares to disagree with you or offer you a different POV as rude. GMIL was baiting you. You claim you didn't take the bait and were the bigger person. Well, the bigger person wouldn't still be bothered by it after all this time.
