My mother is baptizing my son?
Ok real quick back story. I am the youngest of 3. I have two older sisters. I am very close/was to my middle sister and always have been along with my brother in law, niece and nephew. I’ve always been the underdog and always treated like the baby still. Anywho I am married and we had our first son Aug 28. My family went all out for bridal shower, wedding, babyshower etc. I ended up having my son early since I got preeclampsia and high blood pressure. I had a c-section just like my sisters. 3 mos after that I got sick again and had to have my gallbladder taken out. My oldest sister had the same problem. Before this my husband and I asked my middle sis to baptize our son. They agreed. I tried setting up an appt with the priest but my sis always had something to do. While I was in the hospital waiting to be operated on for gallbladder surgery we were texting and my older sister said that pain hurt worse then a c-section and I did not believe that. Even nurses in the hospital said it was nowhere near the same. Anywho I was talking to my middle sister about the baptism and meeting with the priest and she said,”you won’t be able to your gonna be recovering and in pain” I tried being positive saying it can’t be that bad. I told her sure our oldest sister said it hurt but she can’t even handle a tattoo and everyone has a different pain tolerance. She goes on saying,”the c section hurt right you were in pain right?” “You didn’t have to go through contractions and push then have gallbladder surgery” need I say my oldest sis had this done after pregnancy. So the story started becoming about her I guess like she didn’t want to believe I could handle it. I said so what I had a c section all the same and what had I had him normally by vaginal what, you’d say oh you’ve never had a c section, so I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t. She got pissed and said I was being an asshole and then I tell her ok whatever you always treat your family like shit but never your friends and always talk down to me. She then says,”sorry to baby I’m not baptizing” so I said fine whatever I don’t want that around my son this whole oh you piss me off were never talking again bullshit. So now I asked my mom to baptize since she’s been watching him while we work and I didn’t want my husbands family since his mother and I don’t get along and she wants everything to revolve around her and her side. Guess I’m trying to say, if this is embarrassing or something? We do have friends but not close enough to be his godparents. What do you think?
