She is rediculus and says we shouldnt have anymore kids because the times are so bad, we can't afford it, etc. She hung up on my husband when he called her and told her we were expecting our second child, I can't fathom this conversation with it being our fourth! We couldnt be happier and I hate that shes so rediculous about it. she doesnt even treat my other children like she does my first.
So anyway I need an invintive way to spring this on her. Got any ideas?

We are doing okay financially. Thats all her. And I know this time wont be any different but I at least want to say we tried.

get one of the older ones to tell her, make them say, Grandma, mommy has another baby in her belly and they are naturally excited so it may rub off on her. nothing like using the older ones as pawns, lol. good luck. P.S. if you and your husband are happy with your large family, than it is better than any amount of money or financial security can bring.

Just make her a card using photo shop using a jpeg of a crowning head, open the card and the word should read
Your son is abaste*d
Your in-law is a hor
You wouldn’t be a grandma if the condom Had not tore
AGAIN!
Have the hubby sign, not you
Trust me it will be fun you may also want to change the word in-law to out-law You may also want to address the card to B I T C H
Imagine, an old woman that does not like grandchildren, I bet that she has a collection of the neighborhood balls, you know base balls, soccer ball, maybe a testical or two?

Maybe if you incorporate your other children in telling her, she will be reminded of what a blessing children are and have a better out look. You can have them each bring her card that has part of the sentence " Guess what Grandma?We're gonna have a new brother or sister!" write on the cards. I am sorry that your Mother In Law doesn't realize what a blessing children are. I hope my idea helps!

Just tell her, then before she has a chance to be a jerk about it, explain to her that you know her objections, and that you wont tolerate her attitude because your happy about it and she needs to stop her judgement. Conclude the convo by saying if she doesnt agree with bringing more children into the world, she shouldnt have anymore :)

I would give up on making her feel happy about you being pregnant again. After she hung when you were pregnant with the second child you should of just let it be. She needs to find out like everyone else.

Create a calendar.. Snapfish does them. Have pictures of all of her grandkids and each month is a different picture of a child/children. Then the month you're due have a picture of an ultrasound or of your kids wearing a T shirt, "I'm going to be a big brother/sister". Then you can add on the date you're due: "Baby so and so's debut". Good luck and congrats!!!! :)

If I was you I would tell her when your really showing. Invite her over and open the door. You can say surprise your going to be a grandma again. LOL Congrats on the new baby.

My first thought was not to tell her at all as well! When you start showing let her ask the questions! There are a lot of other good ideas on here too! Good luck & Congrats!!!

Being as how Christmas is right around the corner, you could get her a card from the baby......but if she is so "rediculous" what makes you think this time will be any different?

If she is acting this way, nothing will make her happy. She wont care if you go out of your way to suprise her.Not to be mean, but if you are having a hard time financially, maybe you should stop having kids for the time being. If it is truly hard for you to afford your chikdren, I hope you use protection after this baby is born. Maybe you MIL is just trying to watch out for you guys.
