I totally understand. I've been with DH for almost 8yrs (since I was 19) and we have been married for over a year. I wasn't with him for more than a few months when the in-laws started harping. Hello - I WAS 19! Anyway.... it has gotten heated a couple times as his mother thought my birth control was her business. DH made the mistake of telling her I was on Depo and she blew a gasket lol! It was really stressful and at the time I didn't want kids. Now I want my
and what used to be annoying has now become hurtful. Its our 3rd cycle trying and her constant comments make me feel like a failure...that is until I get angry. DH doesn't say anything (he's terrified of his mom as she has the world's biggest hissy fit if she doesn't get her way). She had a lot of trouble conceiving....many MC's and you would think that would make her a little more sensitive - NOPE! But in fairness we haven't told any family (aside from my big sister) that we are TTC. We just felt letting them know would be more pressure. My parent are SO laid back when it comes to this! I'm the youngest of four kids so they have many grandkids and are not losing their minds about me getting pregnant. While DH is the oldest in his family and the youngest in his extended family is like 10yrs old!
Honestly most days I want to kill her, but do my best to ignore her comments, however rude. She is mad because it took her till her late 30's to have her first, and now she wants to be a younger grandma. So basically how I feel is irrelevant to her wants/needs. Ugh I'm all fired up now! lol!
I want a
so badly! But not because she wants it but because it is the right time for us. I doubt she will mellow out once the baby arrives but one battle at a time! lol
