So over the toxic, controlling, self centered family members🙄

So I just had to post this somewhere as I found it kinda hilarious but also really annoying. I posted an update about my pregnancy on Facebook and someone asked if we had decided on a name. My dads mom decides to comment after seeing it saying “no” and “she doesn’t like it”. And I’m just here like what? 😂🤨🧐.

so this situation isn’t a huge deal like I just mainly just annoying. I think the reason I’m getting more annoyed about it though is because my dad was in and out of jail/prison when I was growing up, on drugs and verbally/mentally abusive to my mom when he was out. that’s just a whole nother story but basically I don’t really talk/know his side of the family too well but I do know the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree...We’re all friends on Facebook but that’s about as good as it gets honestly. So for her to say that like I was going to change it for her is too funny. Also, After my dad told her I was pregnant She decided to announce my pregnancy on Facebook way before I wanted to and without even asking me so I had to hurry and ask her to delete it before anyone saw. Anyways, I hope I wasn’t rude or anything in my response because it wasn’t a big deal but also like seriously it’s our child, we have reasons why we chose and like that name and she never talks to me outside of right now anyways. 🙄 Now this certain situation alone isn’t a big deal like I said but ever since I’ve been pregnant my dad has been trying to make this all about him (as he does everything) everytime I see him and say what will or won’t happen with my pregnancy and labor. Like what? I’ve had to go off on him on more than one occasion because he will get so worked up over ideas I am CONTEMPLATING to the point I get so stressed out and emotional which is not good for my baby. For example, one of the few times I have visited during my pregnancy I was talking to my step mom about labor and different things I had heard that sounded cool. Water birth came up and my dad flipped out saying “no she’s going to the hospital and doing it normally no need for anything extra why would you not go with the normal way..” and on and on about how stupid that would be. And telling my step mom to “stop talking because nobody’s talking to her” when clearly we were having the entire conversation in the first place and he’s the one who jumped in. Then suddenly when I’m upset and explode telling him to let me just do my pregnancy how I want. He says “of course I’m the bad guy for having an opinion. Everyone else can have an opinion but not me.” And just throws a fit. I grew up watching him act that way when he WAS around and it used to terrify me but now honestly it’s just annoying. I love my dad to pieces I really do despite everything he did in my childhood but I seriously hate things like this. I don’t want toxic people around my child and Being pregnant has made me realize how toxic he really is. 😕💔
