So was kind of hopeful thinking with my boyfriends dad coming down that maybe a arm would be reached out but
DAY 1: Excluded from dinner arrangements
(They live out of country majority of the year. I've only had one visit with them since they were made aware of the pregnancy. The visit was at 18 weeks and at that point they had done extensive research in late term abortion and even presented me with a list of clinics willing to preform the procedure. There has been no contact between then and now.)
To shut the door??? Or continue to be hopeful?
Being far away is a poor excuse. My family lived in NJ while I was in TX. They still sent gifts through the mail. They'd order from toysrus.com and shipped them to my house or for pick up. Most of the times it's always the man's side of the family that lack communication and love.
@t142, yeah I'm the same I grew up in GA where you see your family at least 3 times a week! So it means something to me.... they live in the Bahamas and he's been here since he was 15 alone so it's all just weird to me. My family welcomes anyone with open arms so when others don't I just don't understand it. He says they ask him on the phone here and there how I'm doing but who knows. I kind of expected a small gift for the baby in the mail or something easy at least but oh well. They have 10 more weeks to at least make a effort then I'm going to have to wash my hands of it. Isn't worth the stress. He tells me to just not worry about it that he doesn't but that's easier said than done.
@lindseylb93, it's hard. I'm big on family. I lived in Texas for 4 years and I would talk to my mom and sister daily. Even if it was a quick text. A few of my cousins would even text or call me a few times a month. There is no excuse for them not to keep contact. Even if it's a call every two weeks.
@t142, yeah I have a lot to think about.... I don't want my boyfriend to be in the middle bc he bends over backwards for me. But it's getting hard to separate the two when there's so much negativity that's for sure.😒
They did what?!!! Nope, I would shut that door!!!! Don't be hopeful but if they ask about the child then answer them and let them see the baby if not, don't try. That would hurt me very badly. My in-laws were excited when I told them about my pregnancy and even threw me a baby shower BUT once I moved out of state they don't bother to call or buy my kid a freaking card in her birthday. That alone has made me stop sending them pictures of my daughter weekly and calling. I used to do it every week but noticed they never made an effort to check up on my daughter or their son. NOPE EFF THEM.
@shewillbegr87, my boyfriends relationship with them is weird in the first place like it's almost non existent. He came to the states for boarding school as a freshman in high school and has had minimal interaction with them since so he says he isn't worried about it and I shouldn't be either. Hard to over look though just not how I was raised. Bumbs me out bc I obviously want my son to have a full family but its hard to even fathom the thought of letting them enjoy him when he's here after how stressful they've made this pregnancy. My family welcomes him with open arms I expected the same.
@lindseylb93, like seriously why in tf would they want to take you through that children are a blessing and seeing as they are such dicks they wouldn't be allowed to even breathe the same freaking air as my kid dumb pricks I am so angry 😡😡😡
@shewillbegr87, yeah that's where I am😅
And if your boyfriend isn't on your side I would say fuxk him too wtf is wrong with ppl
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
@t142, oh they deff don't have a excuse you're right! Just trying to be hopeful🙄
