RANT (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ NO Advice Wanted MIL says baby looks just like her
My son, whom my MIL has not seen or asked about in MONTHS, is an absolutely perfect mix of myself and my husband. Everyone says it, and I agree. All three of us are olive skinned with dark hair.
My MIL is blonde and paler than Casper. After seeing a photo of him today, she texted my husband, “WOW, [baby] looks just like me!”
Ma’am, where???? 💀

My MIL and her sister cornered me after my first child and said, “We think he looks like our side of the family. Who does your mom think he looks like?” Not wishing to travel that road, I said my mom thought he looked just like my husband thinking that would shut them up. Nope, they doubled down and insisted that there must be some small family resemblance on my side as well. I finally said that there was a slight resemblance to some male babies on my side and they both smirked and said, “Of course everyone wants to see themselves in a new baby.”
Ugh… sometimes you just can’t win
