My partner and I have reached a joint decision that his side of the family will have absolutely nothing to do with our…

why have you decided that? I don't think it will eaffect your baby at all. if your doing it for a good reason then I'm sure he/she will understand when they are older :)

My baby is having nothing to do with that side of the family atall, not even their dad! They chose not to be involved. Well my babies dad made that decision for them. So you do what you feel is best for your baby!!! The fact your OH agrees seems you have a good enough reason! X

@emily.and.phoebe, its a very long story, but cutting it short they're abusive, two faced and manipulative. My partner has nothing to do with them now so I don't see why our baby should x

@beccastirlingx, I have always made it clear our baby comes first :) x

My partners side aren't having nothing to do with my son.. their attitude towards me falling pregnant and thoughout all my pregnancy has been disgusting they have chosen not to bother and would rather people like that to not be involved in my sons life.. it's hard but it's for the best in my case xx

My OH's family haven't really shown anything for me in the 2 years I have been with my OH and since becoming pregnant. They are nice people and everything...have their own lives to be getting on with etc. I mean my OH's nan has asked how I am an everything but that is it. I'm not going to stop our child seeing them though. My OH has lovely sisters! To be fair...the OH and I didn't tell his family until I was at least 5 months pregnant. Do what you think is best for you child! I wouldn't want my child growing up around manipulative people...and two faced people. Eventually they will ask questions etc...especially if the other kids they are around have both sets of grandparents..aunties/uncles. Maybe let them have the decision to see them when they are older...to see what they are like for themselves. My older sister has been unsupportive my whole pregnancy...so she is probably the only one I would consider not having around my child. xx

@winterbaby95, I still wouldn't want them having anything to do with my child even when they're an adult because I know for a fact they'll slag my partner off in front of them and try to twist their minds ect x

Yes hun, I understand. My older sister is spiteful to me sometimes and sarcastic. That would be one of my concerns too..that she'll say something to my child about me and twist their minds x I say don't allow that side of the family to have anything to do with your child @ashleighholly x x x

@winterbaby95, they have caused us so much shit ever since we first got together! The one time I went to their house on my own they tried twisting MY mind and telling me that everything my partner has told me about his past is a lie and that I shouldn't trust him and I don't wanna be having a baby with him (I was pregnant with the baby that I then miscarried) xx

my mum got back in contact with my grandmother when we had me and my little brother because she thought she was "doing the right thing" now my nan tries to manipulate me and gives me money and not my younger brother which makes me angry and upset for him. I don't care about the money but he's autistic and she's blatantly nasty. also tells my mum she's dying all the time when she's 80 and calls ambulances out for no reason and wastes the NHS. they never find anything wrong and she's probably had more tests that the whole of the uk lol x

The dad of my baby isn't involved! Altho his family wanted to b involved! I have decided against it ! Too confusing for the baby! Xx

oh I'm sorry to hear that. I think your baby is definitely best without them. good on you though for making that decision.
