bonus hax chat q (get upset about this): she and hubby are having a baby. yay from everyone in the family but his sister, whose thunder is stolen

Posted by 16 & pixie (aka chris) Mar 5 '10, 11:52

Washington, DC: I'm pregnant and my husband and I are both thrilled. The problem is his oldest sister, who...isn't, to say the least. She called both husband and the other sister to complain that we're "taking her thunder" since she just had her children (who are 4 and 2), she's been trying for seven months (news to us) and that we're irresponsible bringing another child into this world when there is so much pollution. I understand how fertility issues can mess a person up, but we had some of our own (that we kept private) and I just don't know how to deal with a person who ended a phone call with "I hope your kid has some major disability." The "Wow" comment doesn't work with her, and any attempt at rational conversation ends in hysterics and hang ups. Any suggestions on how to deal with her and minimize stress?

- she should find out what the SIL was going to name her baby and then steal that name. -- nm - Max Mar 5, 12:12 3
  - yeah, then she'd get stuck with Gillian or even something worse -- nm - CQ Mar 5, 12:15 2
    - No no, just make yourself more dead to me. -- nm - Reagen Mar 5, 12:20 1

Tell her it's irresponsible to try for a kid who could inherit her wild mental issues. And that yours is going to be a green baby. -- nm - Max Mar 5, 11:57 2
- Really? Green? What kind of fertility stuff was she taking? -- nm - pmb Mar 5, 11:58 1
  - recycled fertility stuff! -- nm - Max Mar 5, 12:00

Is it crazy day? -- nm - Spawn Mar 5, 11:56
You can try discussing rationally, but my best advice is to try to ignore it. It will blow over in time. -- nm - pmb Mar 5, 11:56
Don't talk with her, and husband shouldn't tell her anything he hears. I bet the rest of her family thinks she's crazy -- nm - Roger More Mar 5, 11:55
... the fuck? -- nm - Reagen Mar 5, 11:54
Next time you see her, knock the bitch out. nm - Jim Mar 5, 11:54
