Dealing With Live-in Inlaws During Pregancy Posted: 12-28-06 09:54am
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal
with this? My father in-law has lived
with my husband and I since july 2006 and
since I became pregnant , he has been
driving me crazy and I absolutely hate
him. Every thing he does irritates me. I
can't express this too much to my husband
because he get real sensitive about it and
feels that i'm just picking on him. If
anyone has any advice, please reply.
Thanks!!

Your hormones are going to make you
irritable, there's not much you can do to
control that - but try not to nitpick at
your father-in-law. Nothing good will
come of it, and it will only increase
friction. You might end up doing or
causing something that you'll end up
regretting. My advice to you is to choose
your battles wisely. Ask him politely to
not do one or two things that really
bother you, and try to ignore the rest.
It can't be easy for him living with you
and your husband, and it will only make
him feel worse knowing his daughter-in-law
can't stand him and thinks he can't do
anything right. Try to keep the peace.
Good luck.

i agree! Your hormones have a lot to do
with it! I feel the same way but at times
it is toward my bf. It seems ever since I
have become pregnant i'm 10 times as
emotional. And everything now seem to get
on my last nerve. I do a lot of breathing
exercises if ya know what I mean..

When I was pregnant with my son I lived
back at home and my little brother pissed
me off no matter what he done I could not
stand him. Funny thing is my son looked
just like him as a baby
