Does anyone have a family that is not that excited about you being pregnant?

🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦!!! But my mom wasn’t too thrilled about me being pregnant. She said I was too old (turned 36 after baby was born) and that I already had one child, didn’t need a second one that was going to take my time away from my first🙄

My first child is 14 going on 15 2/10.

I’m married to my second child’s father and we got pregnant last year and she just always had snide remarks about me having another kid. Even now she says “I hope you’re done having kids”. My husband and I have discussed having one more but who knows.

I say, do what makes you happy, they will come around. And if they don’t, you’re able ti support yourself and the baby so it’s their loss

Me and my mom just got into it yesterday because she got upset that I told one of my aunties I was pregnant and she was like why are you broadcasting that all over the place keep it to yourself…….I’m like what do you mean? I’m a first time mom shouldn’t I be the most excited ??

I agree but it’s difficult when you see how other families are so on board and supportive of their kids of their family members getting pregnant but yours is like….wow she’s really throwing her life down the drain, then it’s hard because you don’t have nobody to really understand what your going through emotionally, for me it’s been absolutely depressing having morning sickness and recently I got diagnosed with a more severe form of morning sickness so I just …deal with that alone

I’m 24, married, a college graduate, in my 2nd year of teaching, own my own home, and my mom still gave me attitude when I told her I am pregnant with baby #2. She’s never been asked to watch my son or to go out of her way to do anything for him. I just ignore it and keep my distance from the negativity.

it’s crazy right ?!?! 😂 I’m about to graduate with my PhD in June and my mom is like I wish you would have finished school first?🤨 ma’am cut the baloney😅 I call it a trauma response because the math ain’t mathing😂

lol I feel like my mom cannot be proud or happy for me at all! Like she doesn’t want me to do better than she did. I think its definitely some trauma like jealousy thing. She had 3 kids by the time she was my age and was struggling hard.

Like just be the happy grandmother 🙄 my husband’s mom is thrilled, but she’s also 25 years older than my mom, so maybe that impacts it.

Don’t let it impact your happiness! You deserve to enjoy your pregnancy and your baby, regardless of what others think or feel. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about motherhood and parenting, it’s that everyone has a whole lot of opinions about the way you should do things and everyone thinks their opinion is best.
