is it too much to ask?

my brother in law just emailed me to let me know that he and his new wife are going to go to the doctor to see if it is "safe" for them to try to have a baby. HE JUST GOT MARRIED!!!!! literally on the 17th. it's just so frustrating- just when i thought the "mike show" was over we're going into round two. apart of me wants to be really happy for them- she's 37, has a weak cervix and according to him a "raging case" of genital warts (why do i need to know this about her i ask). i know that if they are going to do this that they need to act quickly. that being said- the rest of me wants to scream! could he not just let me have 4 months of enjoying my pregnancy to myself? must he have EVERYTHING his brother has? and the thing is that before dh and i brought up the fact that the aunts were lobbying for us to procreate, he NEVER brought up having kids. and he baby talks his wife- so FREAKING annoying- he'll walk up to her and pat her on her stomach and ask- "is phooney- wooney nah?" nah in vietnamese means happy. i just want to choke him. he didn't have the decency to come to our wedding but made us slave over his. then THEN when we lost our baby he didn't even say "i'm sorry". every time my husband has needed a supporting and loving brother Mike has let him down but when mike needs something, if it isn't done right then and there he throws a fit. can i divorce my in laws and keep my husband? is that possible? and then THEN he has the audacity to ask me for my fertility books- which means that he's going to be giving us monthly fertility reports and we're literally going to have to walk him through this process. i refuse! first of all because i think he will be a horrible father. he is in love with the idea of his wife having a child but has no paternal inclinations whatsoever. second of all because he has taken this away from me. we worked to get this kid here and in one stroke (giggidty) he's decided that he wants to usurp his brother's joy and have one of his own. can i put him and my father in a boat and blow it up or something?

  1. oh that would frustrate the heck outta me! i'm sorry! i'm sorry for mike too! that's not how a brother is supposed to be! maybe the doc will say, nope, you should really treat this raging case of genital warts first!
