I'm Currently Feeling: | Should I be brazen enough to tell her myself? You may have read a post I wrote before about Adam's mother not asking me about being pregnant, not inviting us over to dinner, etc etc. I was really pissed about it because I felt like she was blacklisting me. Now, I'm leaning more towards she doesn't even know, and Adam was lying to her telling her I had other things to do when she invited us over.
I told Adam a few days ago that I was going to call his mother if he didn't get the bill money to me by today. He actually went to some credit loan place to get the money, after 2 1/2 months of brushing it off and not caring. What changed? Well, I think it changed because he was scared to death I was going to call his mother and tell her I'm pregnant.
I'm debating calling her after my ultrasound on Wednesday to tell her the results. It would be a simple "Hi, since Adam doesn't want to hear anything about the baby, I thought you deserved to know that your grandchild is going to be born in September instead of December/ you're going to have two grandchildren instead of just one".
What do you think? Yes or no? I'm on the fence. Part of me wants to do it to spite Adam, and part of me wants to do it because I think she deserves to know. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I say go for it at the end of the day i'm sure she'll find out at some point and i'm sure she'd maybe prefer you to tell her if her son can't face up to bein a man!! Its not being spiteful just telling her the truth x x |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I really think you should tell her, she has a right to know she is going to be a grandparent and i bet she would be a great support to you and the babies.
Good luck with whatever you do and keep us posted

I'm Currently Feeling: | I would definitely tell her hun.
I think she may even think more of you if you called her yourself rather than let her find out through someone else.
Good luck

I'm Currently Feeling: | I would tell her, just be aware that she may have the same attitude as Adam, you might be surprised but just be prepared |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Personally I'd tell her. At the end of the day she's still the baby's Grandmother so she deserves to know even if she doesn't want to. She might take the same attitude as the Dad but in the long run i'm sure she'll appreciate you telling her. |
