Ohhh, I cannot wait to share this with you. I don’t know if you remember but I posted this a few weeks back asking if it’s possible for Ariella to have rickets since my inlaws INSISTED that she has it. Well, I went to the pediatrician today AND TOOK MY MOTHER IN LAW WITH ME!! My favorite part of the visit was when the dr told us that Ariella shows absolutely no signs of rickets and that the bows legs correct themselves eventually. She’s waddling b/c she’s still not sturdy on her feet and that’s how she maintains her balance. This was the best visit ever! Only b/c she (my mil) got to hear it for herself (since no matter what we, the parents, say is good enough for them). I know I sound like a mean daughter in law but I’m tired of fighting with them over this so I thought about it and figured “what better way to deal with it than making her hear it from the dr’s mouth?” Let’s hope THAT will make them quiet!! mariannardh2007-12-07 14:30:20
HILARIOUS!!!! I can only imagine how happy you must be. Aren’t in-laws just intolerable sometimes? I am already asking God to help me not be that way when my kids get married!
Oh, Naomi, I’m VERY happy. The sad part is that we both know (DH and I) that my in laws love to “conviniently dismiss” something that they don’t want to hear. Once they get something in their heads, there is no way convincing them otherwise. I know they mean well (I’d like to hope that’s why they’re the way they are) but sometimes it’s just too much! I’ve heard their “oh, the dr doesn’t know what he’s talking about”. Ya, ok..
haha.. I have heard the same thing Marianna said! They will use the doctor to their advantage only. I HOPE this causes your MIL to drop the issue! And I am very happy for you guys that it didnt turn out to be so.
Hope that you MIL finally will get off your back and I truely hope that they aren’t this way with your 2nd… but unfortunately they will probably be the same way… Best of Luck
