Hey, I’m in a similar spot. My mom and I don’t have the best relationship, but she’s always been so excited about having grandchildren etc. Since I’ve told her I’m pregnant she has showed very very little interest, hasn’t checked up, made no effort to fix our relationship, and was then surprised when I said she wasn’t welcome in the birth room 😪 It’s definitely a very hard situation to navigate. You aren’t alone!
Hey, I don’t have the best relationship with my parents and I live a few hundred miles away from them as I moved away for work years ago. I hadn’t spoken to my mum since Christmas until I told her we were pregnant (only told her a month ago) and since then she’s been in touch every week - it doesn’t seem genuine, seems very forced and insincere. I’ve kinda learnt to take a step back, if someone else close to you was having this issue with their parents what advice would you give them? Sorry that’s not much help at all, but don’t worry you’re not alone xx
I have this with my MIL. I send her doctor updates, scans , pictures- doesn’t ask about the baby and then usually in conversation will say oh you haven’t sent me enough pictures. It’s a two way street sometimes there has to be an effort in both parts
