My rubbish family

I had baby 3 weeks ago apart from my dad no one on my side of the family has asked or came to meet baby, I feel really down about it! It’s got to the point I’ve now said I’ll come and visit you with the baby as no one wants to meet her I feel like. My mums gone on holiday and every time I asked before she went she was poorly or car issues, my grandparents, same excuse, my aunts and uncles not messaged at all, with my son everyone wanted to meet him within the first week, my partners family have all met my daughter now more than once. I find it so awkward to talk about my family especially when his family are like oh I bet all your family have been over …. Erm actually no one has, I feel so down writing this but why don’t they care

Show your support

I would say focus on the people u have around. You can't force relationships and make people want to come and see your baby. Focus on your family congrats xx

mama i’m in the same boat, find mum friends in your area that will keep you company, you can’t make them be apart of your lives if they don’t want too. i’m so sorry your going thru this, it’s fucked. you have your own family now just focus on yous xx

@Alisha horrible isn’t it! As a mum not I can’t imagine not wanting to be involved with my grandchildren, unfortunate that you can’t pick your family x

I’m so sorry you’re feeling down about your family, that’s tough 😞 meanwhile I’m due in December and actually WISH they would just leave me alone for a few weeks like yours… they keep talking about wanting to come meet baby right away and honestly that’s the last thing I want! I guess everyone can have quite different preferences 🙃

Sorry to hear this it sounds like pre baby you had a difficult relationship with your family. Focus on your new family and those that care.
