Family


Why is it that family really show their true colours at important stages of ur life?
I have always been close to my aunts n uncles but ever since i got pregnant hardly any of them have made effort with me to ask how my pregnancy is going.
Im the type of person that always rings/texts to see how someone is & would do it even more if going through something like pregnancy/ill health etc.

My baby is due on the same day as my cousin (who is 20) and shes going around telling everyone how she hopes my baby is not born on her bday??!! what a cow!!!

And a couple of my aunts havent even called to see how im doing after my mum told them that I am stressed out after being told my sugar levels are higher than normal!!

FAMILIES!!

Ahh thanks girls!

Mrs N yes that is sad about ur mum, but I do admire u for getting on with stuff & being strong.
Yes Ema that is true, i guess thats a good way to look at it...

Also these very same so-called aunts keep banging on about how they wish I have a boy!! what the hell??
None of my inlaws seem to have this mentality.. and if they do they are being good & keeping it to themselves...

im the same, hubbys mum wants LO to be a girl.
it gets on my nerves when she asks how is she today and we were talking about names and we said we have a girls name but not a boys and she turns round saying you dont need a boys names coz its a girl.

i think she will be very disappointed if it is a boy but im hoping its a boy just so i can proove her wrong.
(im happy with what ever,boy or girl)

about me being strong about my mum, we havnt got on with each other since she left my dad (10 years this year) i havnt seen her for nearly 2 years now.
its my little sisters birthday today but i wont see her,i havnt seen her on her birthday for the last 3 years.
my mum didnt even come to my wedding last year.

sorry it sounds like im after some sympathy,trust me im not.

Ahhh hugs from me Mrs N!
Well sounds like ur mum will miss out on a being a nan so tough luck for her!!
As long as u hubby & baby are happy thats all that matters.. and keep in touch with ur little sis of course! x

I think its rude for people to comment on the sex of ur baby if u dont know or havent told them!

ahh thanks for my hugs hun.
by what my brother has said to me my mum doesnt want to be a nan yet,she is only 36 but i didnt tell her to have me at 15(no effence to young mummys)
im 22 in august and just beacuse my mum isnt ready to be a nan im not waiting to have children.

i would love to keep in touch with my sis but she is only 6 and i have no way of keeping in touch.
when i try and sort a day out to see her my mum makes excuses for why she cant meet me.

Aww Mrs N you're quite young!! Lucky thing!
For some reason I thought u were older (well I mean my age group- late 20's) lol

Well u got so much to look forward now, ur going to be a family of ur own so dont worry too much about ur mum..
Altho hopefully once babys here she will see sense?! But if she doesnt- her loss x

My mum met my aunts on the weekend (her sisters) they are the ones that say they hope I have a boy & she told them that I have been told by docs that my sugar levels are a bit high & I am now monitoring them.
She told them that I'm quite upset/stressed by this & not ONE OF THEM has called/text to ask how I am!!!

Your cousin is so childish!

True,family can surprise you in life changing events.Sometimes for the better or for worse.
Don't you stress yourself.The doors swing both ways,I wonder how they will like once they need family support....xxx
