    I wouldn't worry at all about what your MIL thinks or says. I'm quite sure my MIL doesn't think I can mother one, let alone two. But I have learnt not to care about it (mind you, it has taken time). Now I accept that she will always have a different way of doing things, and that she will never see agree with my ways.

    Please don't let things that others say upset you. I am sure that your MIL was trying to be helpful rather than critical, but either way, you know yourself better than she does

    Thanks Jelly and Mantaray.

    Jelly - I have heard of NFP but am not sure of the difference? TBH I am wondering what is going on with everything at the moment, which is why her comments hit a nerve. I thought I had the "o" day sussed and was fairly predictable. Hence we went about business as usual, but am still getting EWCM at the mo (sorry TMI) so am a little bit concerned. On the one hand, I am ok with #2, but after her comments it really threw me into a panic! It just makes me feel that it is not a safe place to have a whinge and a moan without judgement and her thinking I am weak.

    Oh well, time will tell and fate will decide the outcome, which I am at peace with, but telling her would be something that I wouldn't relish.

    It is funny how one simple comment can change your perspective so much huh?
