Strees, no. Annoyed, a little.
My husband and I are pregnant with with our 3rd baby (12weeks). We have a 3yo daughter & 18mo son. I guess everyone thought we had were going to stop there. Yet, our families kept inquiring about a 3rd. So when it did happen, no one seems to be happy for us.
Before I continue, my husband and I have NEVER been a burden on our families regarding any form of assistance with our current two. No diapers, formula/milk, clothes, money, not even babysitting. When the children are sick, hubby and I just rotate taking time off from work. My mom lives far away, and my in-laws hardly visit or call (long story, not for this post).
Due to "social distancing" we made our announcement via phone. We can sense the sided-eye emoji from everyone. My mom was quiet but provided healthy tips for me and baby. My mother-in-law got off the phone with my husband so she "can discuss this" with his step-father. I mean, what is there to discuss? But, ok (now I have the sided-eye).
Stressed? No. Annoyed? A little. Why are our families acting like this.
Any advise on how we can approach this without getting to emotional involved. Because hubby and I do care but don't care (if that makes sense).
