Yeah so comcast thought it would be fun to cut the main line going into my house so my internet has been very bad lately. They wont be able to fix it for another week since they have to dig up the whole block so if you don’t see me on thats why. Also I finally told my mom that I was pregnant. I figured she would get pissed off and walk away from me but it wasn’t that bad. She just looked at me like I had crushed her and didn’t really say anything. You would think she would have been happy since this will be her first grandchild. It was all I could do to not run crying out of the house. I honestly don’t feel any better having told her then I did before. I’m just going to curl up in a ball and cry now.
That’s so sad… a child a happy thing! Cheer up, it’s your baby, your little one that will love you and make you laugh with silly things. If your mother cannot enjoy grandmotherhood, her loss.
Lotsa luv!

Don’t cry though, you knew she wasn’t going to take it well from get go, but I know how disappointing it is to be proven right, when you hoped so hard to be wrong.

and reactions like that is why i dont tell my mother anything and why i avoid her like the plague, your mom just has no clue how lucky she is..and that is her loss
I’m still hoping she’ll come around. It might just take time for the news to sink in. The important thing is how much this baby means to you!!! That’s all that really matters. (hugs)
You and the baby deserve better. You have to live your life for you, the baby and your husband!!
Obvously the baby will be much loved by you and the hubby!It’s awful your mom feels that way. I hope she comes to her senses. How is pregnancy going otherwise? How is your hubby?
I’m sorry you don’t have more support from your mom, purpledoggy. A child is something wonderful, to be rejoiced over. Kreller is probably right, though. She should come to her senses when she sees the baby.
In the mean time, you know we love and support you.It’s possible that your mom is feeling completely overwhelmed by everything and she just shut down on you. Not that that makes her reaction OK, but it might explain it. I would sure hope that when she’s had a little time to process things she’ll realize how glad she is for you. This may be wishful thinking on my part, I admit. 🙄 But you’ve got everyone’s support in this, no matter what your mom might think! 🙂
I don’t care much for babies either but look at me in my pictures.. they’re fun when they belong to someone else. 😆
Hopefully she will come around. Patents have a hard time realizing that their kids are not “Mini-me’s” and when they make their own (Different) choices, sometimes it can be a blow. Its her loss. Hopefully she will come around (What grandma can resist a cuddly baby?) but if she doesnt, just live your life.
I don’t know why I was shocked at her reaction. I knew what it was going to be. She called my up later wanting to know how we got pregnant. I told her I didn’t want to go into details because it was embarrassing so she hung up on me. Before that she was mad that I don’t talk to her and let her know what is going on. I talk to her all the time but I don’t share everything with her because she always uses it against me. She said she tells her mother everything and wants to know why I don’t do the same. We have never had a close relationship so I don’t know why she thinks we should have one now. I find it hard to be close to someone who raised me to belive I was dirt. She once told me if she would have known how I was going to turn out she would have had an abortion. So yeah its hard to be close to someone like that. Since I wouldn’t really talk to her on the phone she sent me an email wanting me to type out exactly what we had to do to get pregnant. I really don’t want to type it out to her either. All I can say is thank god my brother, his fiance, and her sister were there when I told my parents. They were the only ones who were happy for me (besides my father). When my mom just sat there looking mad and shocked my brother was mouthing “what a stupid blank” to me so I had to laugh. Its funny because my soon to be sister-in-law is so happy and excited for me. She said she just couldn’t belive how my mother reacted. Today we go to tell hubbies mom and if she reacts the same way my mother did (I don’t think she will) I will just lose it. I’m still so upset over my mothers reaction that I can’t handle it. I don’t know I just dont understand how anyone could act like that. Its not like I’m 16 and still in high school and pregnant. I’ve been married for 8 years! Maybe now my mother will stop telling me to get a divorce and marry someone without medical issues. Sorry to come on her and rant but its just really bothering me and I’m having a hard time dealing with it.
