Somebody must have flunked or totally skipped MIL 101. I had Steve pick up Stef last night. MIL was wondering to him how Stef got her cold. She seems to think it's because Stef wasn't dressed right. It pissed him and I'm freaking furious. Why would you say something like that??? WTF?!?!
Stef caught a cold because she came in contact with a germ that she has no immunity to. I know a family in B'more that has this same cold, and someone in FL too for that matter. I could think of some more if I really thought about it hard. It's GOING AROUND RIGHT NOW!!! Steve thinks she got the cold from when we were at HersheyPark Christmas CandyLane. She was all sweaty from running and bouncing then we put her coat back on her and went straight outside. I agree that could lower her resistance a bit, but she caught a cold because a virus found her for crying out loud!!
Nothing like questioning your son and DIL's parenting abilities to fuel the Christmas cheer!

Good Lord, they are 2...they get everything that comes down the pike because they have to build up their immunity.
My mom asks dumb, inquiring questions like that too. Where did she get that bump, bruise or cold! Sometimes I just want to scream too! My only fear is that someday I will become THAT MIL or Mother.
OH - that cold is in NJ too...Maura has it too!
I think its funny when older generations say shit like that. Oh, her hair is wet, its 58 she needs a jacket, yada yada yada . . . . . .
I just laugh to myself and move on. Not worth the stress.
Yeah dumb questions - "Does she want to eat this?" Ummm, I don't know, ask Rebecca. . . . Helloooooo
Heh, I am brutal for thinking J can catch a cold way I have or don't have her dressed, I KNOW deep down that its nothing to do with that and its a germ / virus thing, and I think in my head ugh......... quit it Susan. But MIL's and mothers also duh questions, however I'm guilty of this myself.
I hear ya loud and clear on this post. My ILs do the same thing to me all the time. Freakin' morons.
