mother troubles

Matti • Proud military spouse 🇺🇸💍 👶

I know my mom wants the best for me. Right now I'm home visiting while my husband is away for work. Yesterday the dreaded question came when someone asked my mom when I'm going to have a baby, we got home and I could just feel the tension and there is was "where is your birth control patch?" I didn't want to tell her that I stopped it 3 months ago. I told her I'm going to switch methods and the rant started. "I'm not ready for a baby" "I need to finish college" (even though no one in my family has ever gone to college) "I'm not stable enough" I live with my husband in our own house and pay our own bills. I can't say how many times she's paid my sibling's bills for them or have took care of adult things for them. But for her basis reasons, I'm not good enough to have a baby.
