OT...MIL rant!

No, she just wants to add more drama...I'm wondering where this big checkbook of hers was, though, when we sat in her house 2 weeks ago and told her of the seizures, and how we were debating how much to actually spend trying to figure out what the issue was. She didn't offer to help pay for anything then, and we supposedly had a baby on the way.
I had a german shepard who developed seizures, and within 2 weeks, she and over $1200 was gone and I still didn't have any answers.

I'm sorry about this happening with your dog during the same week as your miscarriage.  Obviously something you could have done w/o this week. 

I'm even sorrier that your MIL lacks any sensitivity.  I can understand your husband being upset about the dog - it was his dog - but your MIL being that upset?   I'd have thought she'd have been more upset about the baby than the dog. 

Is there any chance she's putting her 'grief' at the loss of the baby over onto the death of your dog because she didn't know what to say about the baby? If not...I have no clue what's up with her, but hope it gets better for you and DH.  It might do some good to take MIL aside and tell her to back off for a bit...just flat out tell her you and DH need time alone to mourn, that it's something private between you two and doesn't involve her.

Thanks Holly. I think she may be "immune" (for lack of better word) to miscarriages because her daughter has had 3 in 2 years. I don't think she is chanelling any grief from that. I thought about it too, but nope. She just has to carry on about something, because she wants everyone to feel sorry for her. I have noticed that, since being with my husband, that she will take any occassion whether it's happy or sad, and twist it around so she is the center of attention. I am getting concerned about my husband though. I looked on the internet history and there are like 100 websitesthat he visited about pet death, proper mourning periods, ect.
Hopefully, it gets better. I am not looking foward to another "back off" conversation with my darling MIL.
