Following up the last post about the 2nd granddaughter: She still is being a Drama Queen. She walks around the house, clutching her lower belly and whimpering/groaning quietly whenever someone notices her. Her oldest sister--15 years old--just rolls her eyes. What a kid. ;)
This whole thing brings to mind another story. My oldest sister-in-law went into labor with her oldest. Because it wasn't time to go to the hospital, she went and sat at my in-law's house, to spend time with her mother--hopefully, to get a little sympathy. In typical fashion, my mother-in-law was very laid back about the entire thing and continued with what was on her agenda, which included setting her hair. My s-i-l sat at the kitchen table, groaning and moaning whenever she had a contraction, and said, "But you don't KNOW how much this hurts!!!!" My m-i-l just continued setting her hair and said nothing: SHE had given birth to five kids--the last of which were twins. :D

Just goes to show ya who NOT to try to get sympathy from!
ReplyDeleteYou bet! If the person you're talking to can say "been there, done that," they probably won't be sympathetic. ;D
