What am I in for...

Elaine • Married * Paw-Mom 🐶 * happy

I love my Inlaws, don’t get me wrong but I’m an completely worried about how the whole picture will change once we tell them we’re pregnant.

My husband was an only child for 12 years, and his sister and brother showed up(twins). He was spoiled and babies up till the twins were born and even to this day still gets babies. The twins are even worse. They are now 18 and get away with EVERYTHING. From refusing to eat dinner until my MIL makes what he wants, or posting explicit photos on social media apps. She gives them whatever they want. If my SIL wants to go shopping, she goes and gets everything she wants. My BIL needs new clothes for school and he isn’t taken out because “he has stuff” too small that is....but he can get away with making my MIL make him whatever he wants for dinner but my SIL has to eat what’s in front of her.

And be use they get away with everything, the attitude they give my Inlaws is terrible. They know they can say it and nothing will happen. It drives me crazy!

I grew up in a house where everyone help out. If you didn’t eat your dinner, you weren’t eating. You didn’t get everything you asked for when you asked for it. We learned that if you want something bad enough, hard works pays off.

Now fast forward to his baby I’m carrying. This will be the first grandchild. I can already see the controversy over how I wanna do things and how my MIL will say we need to do things. My hubby and I have talked a bit about some of it, but not a lot yet. I’ve told him my worries at least. And he said he’ll try and make her see that she can’t force her ways on us. But let’s be realistic....she’s going too anyways.

Sign. I guess first step is telling them we’re pregnant and going from there!

Fingers crossed it goes better then I hope!
