The bottom ring is my promise ring that my boyfriend got me for my birthday last year. The second one is my engagement ring (and the wedding band). He picked the first one out all by himself but I went with him for the engagement ring because I wanted to look at Mother's Day jewelry.. Instead he bought this. However it's being resized and I won't know when he gets it back, when he'll propose, or how. I'm excited and happy that we're moving closer together and all that. However my parents aren't his biggest fans at the moment. We told his parents and they were thrilled! My boyfriend said he wants to take my parents to dinner and tell them about it and I think that's a great idea but I told my mom yesterday because I wanted her to have a heads up and didn't want her to say anything negative. Also I told my older sister (who's insanely jealous of me having a child before her and getting engaged and probably married before her even though she's been with the same man for 6 years now) and she looked me right in the eyes and told me that my father said he wasn't going to walk me down the isle if my boyfriend and I ever got engaged. I feel like my parents are being hypocritical. My dad was far from perfect growing up, he just recently decided to become closer to his kids and his wife (my siblings and my mom). And my boyfriend HAS shown change and they still won't give him a chance. They're excited for baby Owen to be born but if they don't quit with the judgmental talk behind my back then I won't have them in my sons life. My boyfriend is the ONLY reason I graduated high school, went to college, got my license, have a home, a new car, and my baby boy. I don't see why my parents can't just drop the bull shit and see that I've got a man who loves and takes care of me and their grandchild. Anyway sorry for the rant just have a lot on my mind I'm excited yet annoyed with my family. Lol
I feel ya @1sttimemommy96 my step dad (who's been there since I was 3) won't even address the fact that I'm pregnant. which is funny because my bio dad (whom I didn't think would take the news so well) had the exact reaction I was hoping for!!! funny how families work
My mom doesn't like the word cunt and he called me that several times. Idk they're just holding a grudge because it was while I was pregnant and "he doesn't need to speak to you that way when you're giving him a son" blah blah blah. They act like they've never called me out of my name before. I just don't understand it @babydreams4e
He got drunk and was calling me names one night thinking it was funny so I slapped him in the face and left him at ihop and came back to my parents and they were pissed saying he doesn't need to drink. I think I handled it very well and he doesn't drink around me anymore. He's at the casino in Michigan right now not even close to me drinking but never around me. Just over name calling I guess. @babydreams4e
Families are nuts that's for sure lol @mommamodglin1
