Unsupportive family and friends
My fiancé and I have been slowly announcing to friends and family that we will be having a baby in September and we haven't been getting the response we were hoping for.. His parents were mad because we are in our early twenties and they would have rather we waited to have kids, but he has two brothers who both have kids with women who already had kids from previous relationships, hell one of his brothers got a girl pregnant when he met her at a club and they were even excited for their baby. I'm not even asking for them to be excited anymore, just interested. We showed them photos and video of the first ultrasound and my future mother in law didn't even seem to care about our baby. We've been telling friends too and only two of them are excited, everyone else is just like "okay. Whatever it's a baby, people have them." And it is just really upsetting for me to have so many people not seeming to care that we are having our first child. Does anyone else have to deal with this? His parents would never have asked for me to have an abortion, but they were somewhat secretly hoping my family would ask me to or that I would miscarry. Odds are I won't miscarry, I have a very active little fetus. I just don't know how to deal with the fact that his parents are being so cold and that no one seems to care..
