Advice on how to handle In-laws
Background:
My husband and I have a one year old son and I am currently five weeks pregnant with Baby #2 (Buggy). Both were planned. We haven't announced Buggy to everyone yet since it is still so early (only my mom knows). I recently became a stay at home mom. We aren't struggling, but I started projects to help save money (meal planning, gardening, shopping second hand store, crafting, etc) because I enjoy them.
Over the last couple days, the granddad has begged my husband not to have any more children for a few years. He thinks we are struggling even though we have assured them that we are not. The grandma went behind my back to my mom and older sister and asked them to "talk some sense into me" about not having more children period. She feels that if we have another, I will start neglecting my son. They keep trying to recruit family members to lecture us and they don't even know about Buggy yet. They keep dropping off food, then telling family members that we are in need because I stay home. I am so stressed out right now and my hormones are all over the place. I have come close to yelling and telling them off. I am trying very hard to stay calm for the my son and Buggy. I also promised my husband that I would be nice, because I know they mean a lot to him (they basically raised him). Anyone else have to deal with this? How did you handle it?
