Momma problems

Charise

Told my mom today that I am pregnant. For many, it's not a big deal, but for me it is. I'm the baby of our family and shes always been extremely protective and controlling of me. Her and my sister both try to tell me how to live my life and what I need to do. It wasn't until I started dating my current fiancé that I realized how wrong it was and how I should live to make myself happy. So opposite what they wanted, I fell in love, got engaged and am now pregnant. And I couldn't be happier.

I told my sister first and instead of congratulating me, she told me why I shouldn't be and how horrible this decision was and also continued to tell me how much she didn't like my fiancé. It didn't go well, I cried on the phone with her in the middle of a grocery store.

So today, I told my mom, and she smiled and then asked me a bunch of questions about what my plan was, how I was going to afford it, and what she was worried about, which is normal for a mom.... but not once did they ever say, I'm happy for you or congratulations. It's a void that I'm gunna have to get used to.

For now I'm just happy, to have this baby And have the unconditional love of my fiancé who makes me be better every day. ❤️🤰🏼
