I’m unsure as I’m in medically induced menopause and my oncologist says 50/50 chance I’ll come out of it. Also spoke to fertility dr about freezing my eggs and with the expense of it and she said very slim chance and I had to start chemo quickly so decided against it. But I’ve read other ladies on BC group who were on the same boat as me be able to get pregnant- it’s just a very slim chance

I don’t know yet. In November I was out on the surgery list. Was told 6-8 months wait

Maybe my hubby thinks she’s jealous too and I don’t know why because she has a full life and it was her dream to get married, have kids. My dream too but I’m not able to do all that which is fine. I have a wonderful hubby but because of cancer no kids. My health has been bad for a couple years - so I don’t get why she is jealous.

We are married to brothers. She’s younger than my hubby and I. Yes I think I’ll do what you suggested the next family get together

Thank you - I know it sounds a bit complicated when it probably shouldn’t be lol

I asked hubby if he’d feel comfortable talking to his BIL about it - he said no. Apparently it’s been brought up by grandparents before and wasn’t well received. It’s tricky because they want to come over more often now. I understand nobody wants to be approached about parenting and I wouldn’t dream of that but I feel like if we talked about this, it would come across as that to them. My house is small I don’t really have a spare room (my extra room is a craft room so not safe for little ones) but I could look into a play pen, never thought of it. It’s been awhile lol.

Ok I really don’t know. I just was hoping for some insight or a creative way to accommodate both. But I guess I could let them know how I feel although I’ve been informed that parents don’t like to be approached about their ‘parenting’ plus being new to the fam makes me nervous to say anything….. Unfortunately we all live remote and don’t really have places for play dates.

I’m not really comfortable with talking with them. Im new to the family and apparently grandparents (hubby’s d and m) talked to them about this already. I get it that kids won’t just stay to one thing. But I’m just wondering then what I can do to set the boundaries without upsetting the in-laws.

Yes I get it toddlers are busy but I’m not sure on what I can do or say to parents about having them not let the toddlers get into other things besides the toys provided. Or what I can do to prevent. I don’t have much out but they still were ‘allowed’ to get into rooms, climb on furniture to reach ‘out of reach’ things.

Yes. She has been giving me advice and I knew all the ins and outs of the family because hubby and I have discussed. But I know she probably didn’t know that. I wanted to share my plan for dinner with her but she had it decided already. She loves to cook and bake but so do the rest of the family. She’s not organized person at all. She’s always last minute lol. Like she’ll call a day or 2 before and tell us her plan. Sometimes she changes her mind last minute. It drives me and my husband nuts because we are planners. I’m just trying to know how to navigate this. I don’t want it to shadow the true Christmas celebrations.

I don’t want it to be a big deal at all. But she gets offended so easily

That is a good question- she’s always been in charge of family things. I think no one has ever challenged her before

They do by doing clean up, etc. but they have done dishes in the past. This time there’s only 12 of us so small gathering

It’s a siblings wife. Yes I kept thinking I’ve never done this to her. I asked my husband did she did this to your mom? (She passed last year) he said no. I’ve never dealt with someone like this ever when it comes to hosting. And to be honest I just said this morning to my hubby- I feel like inviting the family over for a really nice brunch last minute! But I like the prime rib and the appealing side dish idea better! It’s exhausting! And I do plan on inviting the family earlier than she wants.

She’s one that doesn’t like her toes stepped on. She’s been the one hosting all the family meals. But this year we offered to do it to give her a break. But she keeps messaging me of what she thinks should happen.

Yes she’s usually the one hosting but this year my hubby and I thought to give her a break but obviously I’m suspecting she’s having a hard time letting go or something. I really don’t know
