34w with baby girl #2 (I have like 38 days left) and my husband is refusing to tell his parents were having another baby!!! WHY???!!!!! IM BEYOND HURT AND AGGRAVATED!! Am I overreacting?! Not to mention we haven't got a single thing for this baby except the crib our first daughter didn't use and a couple outfits my family has got and a few I've gotten here and there. He knows I'm getting aggravated. We've had the discussion but he's giving me no reason why he's holding back telling them. From my history my chances of giving birth could legit be ANY TIME. What do I do?!?

Do you know the reason he doesn't want to tell them?

Wow thats hard to deal with. What's the reason for not telling his parents do he feel like y'all ate not in a good place or not stable and scared to be judge by his parents? My boyfriend haven't got the baby anything either and I'm 34 weeks... I have gotten everything with every pay check I get. The only thing I ask him to is to buy something every time he get paid... Its like they are in denial or something however his family had been buying stuff from my registry.... So maybe he might be in denial women like my self like to prepare men seem not to which is not good.... Good luck...

@momofboys30 Nope. He just says he's not ready. Like dude...38 days?! Our sister in law is due is July and his family is doing her showers and stocking her up on stuff and excited and I'm sitting there thinking welllll you're gonna have another way before that and don't even know it. So when they bring up our sis In laws pregnancy I'm sitting there mute. It hurts!! He's had all this time to be ready. He was so excited to tell them about our first! With this one he has zero interest! 😭

Give him one last chance to give you a reason. If he won't, call them yourself.
I can understand wanting to let him take the lead with his side of the family, but he's being unreasonable. At the end of the day they're your family too and if you want to tell them you absolutely can.

@wafflespancakes Good idea! I tried to let him do it but he's had his time. Me and his family aren't are very good terms right now so I think that has ALOT to do with it 😥

I would be having a panic attack! You could go into labor anytime really and that is hurtful....

I was going to ask the same as pp. do u not see them?

@ that's not a valid reason at all. I would be hurt too. They could be throwing y'all a shower and getting you stuff too. I don't understand him!

I agree with the person above if he don't tell them I will tell then yourself your baby will be here very soon... That will make me sad to.. And even though y'all had a falling out they should still be happy that a new grandbaby is coming in the world... Hope you find peace

Are you not showing at all? How do they not realize you are 8months pregnant? Also if you guys had a falling out then I wouldn’t expect them to throw you a shower anyway so not sure what your expecting to get from telling them. I do agree your husband needs to stop being so weird about it and just tell them, or you can tell them. Seems like an all around weird situation. Sorry this is stressing you out girl, definitely not what you need right now! Hope it all works out for you. Hopefully when they find out they will be excited regardless of your past with them.

He's 30, I'm 27. I'm thinking it's because their was some rumors a while back that I cheated on him which is why his family doesn't like me. I'm blunt so id be honest with y'all if I did but it NEVER happened. He still isn't believing me. so theirs am inkling it's not his in his and his families mind. I told them GET A DNA TEST SO I CAN LAUGH. We were TRYING for this one why the hell would I cheat during that? We've been together since I was 16. Never had issues till now. They're more than welcome to give me a laugh with a DNA test lol I truly think that's why he hasn't told them. Guess I'm gonna have to get ballz to do it. I don't care to. Just wanted to do it when he was ready but seems like he won't ever be in fear of judgement.

Maybe he’s not wanting to take the stage from his sisters pregnancy. I still think it’s lame that he hasn’t told his parents. As a parent I would be a little hurt if my kids didn’t tell me this far along, but I guess every family is different! I wouldn’t be expecting much in the way of getting stuff for your second pregnancy. At least I know in our families it’s one for the first and done. I thought that was customary which is why I got everything gender neutral that I planned on using again. This time I got a lot of clothes from Craigslist since we are having a boy. Best of luck. If you aren’t on good terms with the parents I wouldn’t want to be the one to announce it to them! I feel like that might just make for more drama.

I'm not even a bit concerned about having a baby shower. I already decided not to have one. Even though I gave ALL my stuff to my little sister when she found out she was pregnant with her little girl so I don't have a single thing left except a few things I've picked up here n there, mainly clothes . I told him he needed to buck up and do it already last night but he says the same thing as always " I will " ,, yeah ok. And I am HUGE but we never see them. My dd goes to to their house on every other weekends but "coincidenctly" he schedules the pick up when he knows I'm not gonna be there 😐 hell I'm gonna stay home all day that day next time 😂
