Rant..Kinda... Well I'm about 17 weeks 4 days pregnant and the only people I've told are my SO, my children and my sister. I honestly don't feel the need to tell anyone else, I'm not close with any of my family other then my sister. My mom texts me maybe once a month if that. And other members of my family I have cut out of my life for almost two years now due to drama, gossip and them bashing me to other family members behind my back and creating lots of tension. Honestly I feel I could go through my whole pregnancy without telling them, since I am on my 4th child I feel that I'd be judged and get rude/ negative comments from them anyways. Is it wrong of me to keep this to myself? Do I have to tell them? I know they won't be happy for me if I do tell them... I really don't know what to do. I guess I'm just looking for some advise here as to what I should do cause I don't really feel like I should have to share my pregnancy with them. Especially since I know they aren't going to be happy for me. None of them have really made an effort to try be apart of my life in months and none of them usually even bother to try contact me or ask about my children or how we are doing...

I haven't told my mom and I struggled with the decision as well. But family or not, if they aren't supportive and caring towards you - then forget it.

don't care about what other people think.

the more kids the better.

if they deserved to know they'd already be involved enough at this point to know. do what you feel is right and everything else will fall into place! :)

If you know they aren't going to be happy for you, they don't need to know! No one needs that negativity especially someone with a little blessing on the way. Surround yourself with happiness and support :)

Family isn't always the ones that are blood related sadly but your heart will always guild you in the right direction :)

@beatleslover31 @hunterkw_ Thanks ladies, I feel in my heart I don't need to tell them. I am close with none of them and none of them make an effort to be apart of my life so I don't think I should have to tell them. I just thought that cause they are "family" I'm obligated to tell them. When really they don't even know what being a family is 😒
