Telling family we’re expecting #2

L

Just wondering if anyone else had the same experience as me?

We recently told our family that we’re expecting a second child, our daughter will not even be 2 when we have our second. All my family and husbands family keeps saying is how hard it’s going to me. My mom wouldn’t stop talking about how difficult it would be, and how we should have waited longer to have another child. My husband and I planned this pregnancy so it’s especially hurtful to hear. We know it will be hard, but we are in our 30s and we’re ready to grow our family. I’m so hurt that our families aren’t more excited. My husband and I have been over the moon since we found out I was pregnant, and now after hearing all this I’m wondering if we should have waited.

Regardless, I’m pregnant and we’re having our little one so I don’t understand why I’m getting lectured about the difficulties of having two under two. Anyone else experience this? It’s completely aggravating and I’m very emotional about it. I thought they’d be more excited. 😞
