So, I knew if I told her I was thinking of the surgery she would tell me all of the other stuff, you know " If you would just work out with weghts, if you would try xenecal ya di yadi yadi " So, I did NOT want her to know! We went to Durham and when we got home his Mom started ascting suspicious. We decided that with her big mouth we would rather tell her then let her go around talking to everyone guessing about it. This way we could come right out and tell her and tell her to keep her mouth shut (We should have given her some steel for her trap! hee hee) anyway, I didnt want to tell her because I didnt want ot listen to all of her advice. So, my husband told her. It pissed me off that I was even in the position that I felt I had to tell her in order to keep it private. She should just leave other peoples business their own, anyway so my husband told her. The next day we were over there with my 3 yr old son and he was standing in front of me. . .looks up to granny and says as he is touching my tummy " Mommy had surgery! " HA HA! So, I know what you mean about the infomrant! I thought he wouldnt even think to talk about it . . glad we did tell her before hand or as you said above, " It would have opneed a whole OTHER can of worms " if she thought we were hiding things from her! Ahh Mother In LAws, arent they great! HA HA L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2000 Report Share Posted August 13, 2000 Yes, Ihate to tell, but this is such a small town. She will probably have it in the newspaper while I'm gone. It will be the same effect of her phone calls. lol She really can be a dragon sometimes, but mostly she just wants to run our lives. We just avoid the situation as much as possible. lol Oh well, I'll just have to grin and bear it one more time. Then I'll be sskinny and she can find another subject to bitch about! lol Dinah > In a message dated 08/13/2000 4:53:03 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com writes: > > > << going to tell my Mother in > > law what I am doing.
