I just found out I am 4 weeks with baby #3. I’m externally panicking at the thought at telling my parents that I am pregnant again. Like I know I’m the adult and can make adult decisions lol but still feel like a teenager about to disappoint her daddy 😬
Doesn’t help that shortly after I had my second my dad said to me that I should have had my tubes tied and I didn’t need any more. My mother also makes comments about how i have my hands full and “Idk how you do it”… along with comments about finances which they know NOTHING about. And I have also been told “if you have another one we aren’t helping(wasn’t planning on having them but alrighty)”
We have a almost 7 year old and a 2.5 year old. My hand are full but I rather have that than have them empty. I also plan on being a SAHM once I have the 3rd. Being a SAHM has been a conversation and decision we have been thinking about way before we chose to try for #3. Once my parents find out that I plan to quit my job to stay home they are really going to flip their ever loving shit.
I know I have to get in the mind set of “Its my life, not theirs” but damn it’s hard lol
