Not ready?

Question

Me and my husband have been TTC for 6 months. I've been taking care of his two children from another mother while he's at work and I've noticed that I can take care of them but they don't love me like they do everyone else. I don't know if it's just my anxiety but it gets to me. I've just told him that I don't think I'm ready for kids and he told me he doesn't think so either. This has really hit home because I am pregnant. He doesn't think I can do it.. And if he doesn't, than how can I? I haven't told him yet, mainly because I was expecting a different reaction. Now I'm worried. I don't know what to think anymore.

Answer

“I’ve been taking care of HIS kids”. You’re married. They’re yours now, too. Doesn’t matter if you birthed them or not. Being a step parent isn’t easy. You have to show them you love them and keep at it. Never make them feel like you’re anything less than their mother. JMO.

Answer

be more confident in you! you are capable! sometimes men are insensitive to what we need to feel from the words they say. i believe the connection you are seeking from those his two children you will have with your own.. stop worrying and stressing cause you got this!! God gives us only what we can handle in his timing.. good luck!

Answer

Once you have your own it will change. I hated kids and kids hated me until I had my daughter.

Answer

If this is your first baby then no one should expect you to be ready with other kids because u haven’t hit your mommy mode yet it’s like a switch that flips once you have the baby! It will all work in do time
