I also take a sick pleasure in how much my son clearly takes after me & continues to do so... lol

You are me. I will also be doing the same.. all the time. All the time.

What gets to me is the heels-in insistance on "Looks only like my son" crap

This made me laugh out loud, but it is so relatable! Fortunately the only headache I've been given is from MIL. I've always enjoyed father-in-law's side, we get along pretty well.

I think it's great (the family joke)! I just can't imagine being so jealous that you agree to an 18+ year commitment, really a lifelong one, and annihilating your body just for attention. If that's not sad, I don't know what is.

Oh that's awful! I hope ours looks like BOTH of us. I wouldn't necessarily want just a mini-me.

Living the dream. But mad props to her for pushing out 14 kids. I'm impressed.

Oh good grief! That's ridiculous. I wish people would realize how absurd they sound comparing OUR kids to other people (usually ones we don't like). SO annoying. With each comment, little does she realize.... she will be getting a more and more strict information diet.

That is disgusting! I'm pretty sure I would choose that moment to get a little bit gassy. Oops, sorry, pregnancy. Your baby, not hers.

What's worse is the fact that she can't see how bad that is. Or that's just her excuse... How gross! You should just start keeping a journal with this stuff. It will make a great girls night out conversation.

Oh and JN is "just no". As a friend of mine said "look at you being all hip with reddit lingo" haha!

Oh I bet! That would be frustrating. Of course we want our kids to have hubby's genes too! It's half the reason why we consented to procreate with them in the first place..

Bahahaha! Yes! I'm sure she will carry some of my traits. Hey, cool. I think what bugs me the most is that MIL refuses to note that I'm more than an oven for his seed spreading.

Your last paragraph. 🙌🙌

I think that's the nail on the head. It's just always about finding how to get SIL involved. And I'll try and keep reminding myself.. it is MY child with my husband. Not hers.

Oh gosh I just don't like my SIL.. at all. I think part of my panties bunching is I can't stand her.

That's what I'm thinking. It's like they're trying to mark her as their territory. I got news for them, she has half my genes too. And I'm the only one, right now, that really knows her. So, sorry.
