Were still pretty early on in this pregnancy and my husband and his mom are the ones planning the baby shower(it’s coed) for the beginning of October. All of my family lives out of town so I figured this would be plenty of time to tell them so they could come. It’s not like I’m asking them to be there for a long time just literally a couple days at most, and they only live two states away. My family has already said they’re probably not going to come. All I want to do is cry. 😭😭😭
@steganmewart I'm so sorry! My mom only makes 1400 a month
@karensmommy, no not at all. I mean I do have younger siblings that are in school. But again it’s not like I’m asking them to even take a week off. Literally a couple days at most. A flight to here wouldn’t even cost that much. I don’t see how at least one of them couldn’t come to either the baby shower or soon after the babies born.
@karensmommy, it’s just frustrating. They live maybe 15 hours away. They’ve already said they probably won’t come to the baby shower or after the babies born. I know it’s because it’s around Christmas and that makes it inconvenient for them. It’s their first grandchild, I just assumed they’d want to be apart of this.
@aileen_west, I’m not having a completely separate baby shower just because they decided it wasn’t important enough to come. I’m not even concerned about the rest of my family I just assumed my parents at least would make the effort to come. They said they would try to come visit sometime after the baby is born but I know what that means it’ll be at least 6 months to a year before they show up if they show up at all
My mom lives 8 hrs away and has only seen my daughter once when she was 3 months and my sister lives 10 hrs away and has never seen my kid. I know how u feel
sooooo,,I told my family not to come see me and the baby bc of the whole Corona thing going on. My Mom and Dad and Sisters and Brothers are all on their way to my apartment after I told them MULTIPLE TIMES not to come. what do I do.?😭
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...
Is it rude to not want anyone at the hospital?
I was just informed that my MIL wants to be waiting at the hospital so as soon as I pop out the baby she can rush in to be with the baby. I am really a private person and dont really want anyone at the hospital when I give birth (except my husband). I was planning on calling all the family to come to the hospital once I was all cleaned up and ready for visitors. Am I being rude? How do I tell them I dont want visitors a minute after pushing out...
I literally can’t find anyone in my family to review my paper to make sure there are no errors 🙄 did it for them all the time so when I ask for a favor of course I don’t get it!
Does anyone like their in laws?
With all the posts about terrible in laws I was just wondering if anyone actually likes their in laws?!?! I love me in laws. I'm blessed to have such a wonderful immediate and extended family. My mil loves spending time with my boys. She comes over at least once a week and will sleep over. She gets up with the boys in the morning and let's my husband and I sleep in. My fil is a great man also. He's always coming over to visit and do some odd jobs around the house...
Yeah it’s a double income household they’re middle class and can afford trips just fine. I really just think it’s because it’s an inconvenient time of year for them. Which just makes me mad. It’s always expected that I put in the effort, but then when they don’t and I call them on it then I’m being selfish.
