Megan, I'm not sure this is the right thread to put this in, but thanks for sharing your MIL problems. My MIL behaves much the same way. She actually said to me that marrying me was the most selfish thing her son could do, because he was deliberately denying her of 'her grandchildren'. I actually do ‘have a few problems down there’, but that’s still no excuse for what she said! I have issues with blaming myself as it is, I don’t need any help from her. I have let her attitude go on for too long without pulling her up on it, although I would probably be wasting my breath if tried to get her to be a bit more understanding.
Telling families is a really hard thing, and any helpful articles that I could have either read myself or give directly to them would have been a great resource to have.
When you are TTC you have enough stress/emotion – we shouldn’t need to be tip-toeing around family members, worrying about their feelings.
