HELP

okay, so my mother in law had asked us a month ago to not tell anyone about he pregnancy yet, and I was already upset about that because I felt like it wasn’t her place to ask that of us, but I love my mother in law, so we did. She said we can after our first ultrasound. We had our first ultrasound done yesterday, and Brandon went to his parents house to break the news to his 15 year old sister, and his mom cried and begged for him to wait another week for her to get back from the beach. (Keep in mind, she’s been to the beach just over a month ago already.) when prompted as to why, she said his 15 year old sister will have an “emotional breakdown” and make herself sick because she “doesn’t think we’re ready.” I don’t know about y’all, but I’m pretty freaking pissed. I see where she’s coming from, seeing as to how Emily (the 15 year old) acted when she found out we were engaged, but I don’t feel like it was her place from the get go to keep it private as if we’re little 16 year old kids. We’re both 22, have our own roof over our heads, pay our own bills, and no one has to care for us. Let me know how you guys would feel about this. PLEASE.

They are a little to much involved in y'all situation. If y'all have y'all own etc why is it anyone elses news but y'all. Seems to me your outside family is taking control of everything

@1818.whiterabbit she and the sister can have issues by themselves. The mother is enabling her and your husband is not taking a stand for you as his wife. I'd honestly advise you to speak up an say something. I've been in your position as of recently so that why I'm passing this on to you. Don't allow other peoples emotions and motives overshadow your judgment and heart.

@wvmommy, I couldn’t agree more with your statement. Their relationship is none of my business, but I’ll be damned if I allow it to affect my husband and my personal life.

@chelleyb93, thank you for your advice. We have plans to go this evening and tell her that we are telling her whether she likes it or not. He went by himself last night, or else I would have already taken care of it. I don’t like people trying to delegate my life. My own daddy doesn’t even try to do that. Why should I allow my mother in law?

Do what y'all want! It's not their right in the slightest to put a timeline on this joy in yours and your husband's life. It's honestly not your problem how they handle it. You have more to deal with now that you are pregnant than adding their nonsense to the mix. As for Emily, it sounds like she is a spoiled brat. If they keep babying her, she is going to spin out of control on them. She sounds immature and having "meltdowns" when she isn't the center of attention. Well, tough! That's life! She needs to learn where she fits in to situations and enabling her isn't helping her. Sounds your MIL needs to cut the umbilical cord.

I’m just like I don’t want her feeling like she can just walk all over top of me and my husband, but I also understand that Emily WILL act out over it and she’ll just worry the whole time she’s at the beach. I’m torn.

@bodybycheetos, I AGREE!!! That’s how I feel! That’s why I don’t feel like I should wait. We live by ourselves. We don’t live with her. We are completely independent.

Do you guys live with his mom? Girl, I know controlling in laws. There's balance. Sometimes you need to stand up for yourself and stand your ground, other things you ignore and let go. But if you let her dictate, she will forever think she has a say in every. single. thing. you do.

PLUS guys, she came downstairs last night in the middle of him and his mom arguing and looked at Brandon and said, “Is Destiny pregnant?” Brandon didn’t say anything and his mom changed the subject. The girl already knows.

@1818.whiterabbit is your family as involved as his. There needs to be give and take in this situation. I agree with @bodybycheetos. At the end of the day this your life with your husband and no one else should dictate that. They'll be fine and either come around later or not but you shouldn't wear that. If your husband is push for his family to over step boundaries then he's wrong for that. He's married to you not his mother.

@bodybycheetos, he gave in to her crocodile tears, honestly because he loves his mom and I get that, but after I explained to him how I felt, he felt the same way. I don’t know if he even has his own opinion on the matter, to be honest. I feel like he’s just trying to keep his mom happy, but damn. We’re adults.

That's pretty damn weird. I'd probably announce anyway honestly. If they can't be happy for you two, then they will have to come around later..or not. But I wouldn't let some little girl and her mom who coddles her dictate what I do or make me feel like I have to hide big things going on in my life. How does your SO feel about it?

@mombassador, I agree, but Brandon feels like it’s important to have his close family involved in what’s changing in our lives. I dont do the whole control thing, and this is the first time I’ve had an issue. I don’t know what’s gotten into her.

I'm sorry to ask but why is your life causing the sister emotional distress. I don't feel like it's your mother in laws place at all especially for this long. You as a mother should feel overjoyed to tell people if that how you feel.

Honestly, I get where your coming from and I’d do what i want lol. Since you care for your mother in law so much tho maybe compromise and tell her that since she’s asked you to wait twice already, as soon as she gets back your telling everyone. No excuses🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I would wait the week but thats just me lol bcuz waiting once, OK whatever, waiting an extra week? Ok yea sure but thats all your getting. 😂😂😂😂😂 but it’s your life id say do what makes you feel comfortable 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ but yea if you wana avoid the MIL drama, ehh wait the week then tell everyone but make it clear to her that after that , your jot waiting bcuz its your baby and your an adult🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️💎💎💎

Seems to me that someone forgot who's baby it is... You guys have the right to tell people whenever you want. If she can't except that than that's her issue. And as for your sister in law, I get her concerns but she should have more important things to be focused on at 15 and not the current state yours and your husbands relationship.

My world stopped I was changing the laundry over and my husband went to use the restroom. Our 20 month was in the room with our 10 year old and climbed up on the bed and fell, face first, landing on her head. Our bed is three feet off the ground and our son said she was standing up, so roughly a five foot fall. I ran into the room and she was unresponsive. She didn't take her first breath for 45 seconds. Her eyes were rolled in the back of her head and her entire body was limp. I lost it. I was screaming for my husband to call 911 and was running around looking for my phone. I was screaming to God to protect my baby who laid lifeless in my arms, aside from shallow breaths. I called 911 and was panicking for them to send someone ASAP. My first time ever needing an ambulance and we moved from having a fire station about a football field away to the boonies where we have one neighbor. I didn't know how long it would take for them to get here.

Need opinions. My bf and I are going to hawaii again this year and we wanted my bff and her boyfriend to come with us this time. We asked them a month before we booked it and she kept saying she wants to go and she just has to talk to her bf about it but he didn’t say no. she kept saying that. it came time to book the trip and we didn’t have an answer from them but my bf didn’t want them to lose the opportunity so he booked their trip for them and put insurance on it in case they decided against it. don’t get me wrong, I KNOW it was stupid of him to do that. I told him that almost immediately after him telling me he booked it. this was about 2 months ago. for 2 more months we kept getting the “yeah we wanna go but lemme see if we can figure it out”. then all is a sudden she says “it’s not really our type of vacation” which 1) blows my mind and 2) why not just say that from the start? if it’s not ur kind of vacation now then it wasn’t 2 months ago either. anyways, we tried to cancel to find out that the terms of insurance are crazy. basically the only way we can cancel is if one of them were to pass away, get hurt, or lose their job. about 2 weeks ago my bff actually broke her foot. which is the perfect out for us to be able to cancel their trip and get $2,000 back. my bf told her to just ask the dr for a note. she went to the dr yesterday and texted us saying “dr said no note” now we could be wrong, but we both immediately thought she didn’t even ask for one. and I wouldn’t put it past her to be uncomfortable asking for a dr note and just not even do it cuz it’s not her problem. now we are out $2,000 at the same time that we’re selling our home and buying a new one and like I said, yeah he shouldn’t have booked the trip for them, but to go from “yeah we want to go” to “it’s not our type of vacation” seems like she just led us on. and now she’s saying they wouldn’t even want to go if it was free. like 1) who says that? and 2) then why did you say you wanted to go from the start? and now she seems like she’s annoyed with us. she hasn’t responded to us and I haven’t talked to her at all since which isn’t common. Would you be annoyed if you were us? that they couldn’t just be honest from the start? also anyone have experience with canceling trips with crazy insurance policies?

So this morning my fiancé and me went to my folks for Christmas. On our way there we had to stop at his ex fiancé house to drop off an ornament we found of hers when we were setting up our tree. I was upset because I really didn't want to see her especially on our first Christmas being engaged and our daughters first Christmas because she has been mean about me in the past. Now I come to find out that she has been asking him about our daughter and stuff like that. Do I have a right to be upset or no??
