I’m currently 10 weeks and 5 days, and we haven’t told any family yet. We had this big announcement planned for Valentines Day (first grandbaby on my husband’s side) and because of his parents attitude lately I’m not even sure I want to tell them anytime soon.

For context, we got a 6 wk old puppy the day we found out I was pregnant, it was a complete shock and even though we were trying I had no reason to believe we would’ve conceived that go-round. We had already committed to the puppy so I figured I’d try and make it work. As my pregnancy symptoms got worse, my husband got busier at work and neither one of us had the time or energy to deal handle him, and he’s already stronger then I am so I have a hard time handling him when he gets rough. We decided to rehome him so he could get the time and attention he deserves. Well for some reason my In-laws have decided thats the most irresponsible thing we’ve ever done.

They’ve made multiple comments like ‘what if it were a baby, you can’t just get rid of a baby’ and other things along those lines. I’m already dealing with some awful prenatal depression and these comments just frankly made me feel like shit. I feel guilty about having to rehome him, and I understand they don’t know the full context but I just feel like their comments were uncalled for. My husband is military so we live halfway across the country from any sort of family so we get no help, just constant judgement and comments about every decision we make. I used to think they’d be excited about the baby, now I just feel like I’m going to give them another thing to talk shit about.

I’m at a loss, I don’t know what to do.

I know I’m probably overreacting, but I just needed to vent.
