put her in her place out of respect for you. He should without you even
opening your mouth. This should be such a happy time for you with
all those babies on the way. Is it at all possible that she feels jealous
of your three girls and the relationship between all of you? Any way you
can give it one more try and talk to her? I hope it gets better for you.
As far as the Baby Talk site that alone tells you what their own children
are going to end up like. If they feel that way about their own mothers
dollars to donuts their own children will follow in their footsteps. |
Yes I do believe that she is jealous. At Christmas time, when she found out about the third daughter being pregnant, she set out to get pregnant herself, eventhough they are not in a posituion to have another child, and she had said that very thing herself.
They are living with her parents, and have been for 3 years, they had a second child while living there and now she is pregnant with a third. I bit my tongue and congratulated her nicely and told her I hoped she got her girl this time, she has 2 boys.
She has said over and over that she wants sisters, she has none, and how she loves being a part of a big family and having 5 sisters, yet she starts arguments constantly. and then cuts herself off from everyone.
Always in the past I have initiated the make up, someone has to be the adult, but this time I'm not doing it, because history has shown me that it will only last about 2 months and then it will be something else. I believe she just hates her life so bad that she is just an unhappy miserable person. Yet she refuses to get a job so that they can get out of her parents house.
When I would say "I'm sorry we agrued", she never says "I'm sorry too", she doesn't give appologies, and she doesn't accept them. Nothing ever gets resolved, they just get put on hold until she decides to bring them up again.
