Do I have a right to be upset that my husband hasn't told his family that I am pregnant?

His mom is adament about not wanting more grandchildren? Seriously? She does realize that she doesnt get to chose how many kids yall have, right? Tell him he has a week to tell them, or you will. And also make sure they understand that if they treat this baby any differently than the others, they can kiss seeing any of them goodbye.

I can’t even comment anything other than f*ck grandma. “she doesn’t want anymore grandkids” has me seeing red, as if it’s any part her choice. Please don’t keep that toxic shit in your life. Based on that sentence alone, I can bet that she wouldn’t treat this child the same as her other grandkids, and that would be the biggest NOPE for me.

Eh tell them.
It’s really none of their business how many kids you have.
Your hubby needs to just stand his ground. If they step out of line your hubby should be putting them back in their place. Goodluck

My mother in law kept saying she didn’t want anymore grandchildren. When we told her we were pregnant she was the most excited

It’s your family , your life whether he tells them or not unless they have to financially and physically support you it’s not up to them it’s really none of their concern.

Your mil doesn’t want more grandchildren? Well, I guess it’s a good thing that it’s none of her goddamn business how many kids you have. Why are in-laws such fucking cunts?

I would be upset too but to be honest if my man didn’t have the balls to tell them you bet your bottom I would!

I didn’t tell my family or his with my last child. I mean its not their child and I didn’t need the drama. If he wanted to tell he could tell and he could deal with it if he chose not my problem.

Ok, I want to know why the Grandma has problems with more grandkids… is she raising them, or financially supporting them? Only then would she have any kind of valid reason.

No one has a say in whether you have children except you and your husband. I would not care what anyone else thought and that includes parents. If they are not supporting the child, it is none of their business. Your husband needs to stand up to his mom and stop trying to hide.

I wouldn’t be upset.
I’d be more upset about the fact the grandmother has told you she doesn’t want more grandbabies. That ain’t her decision nor place. If I were you, I wouldn’t hind that beautiful bump of yours anymore, let that baby show. And If anyone gives you problems tell them to buzz off ain’t their life or child.
Good luck mama

This whole post has got me worked up. Grandma doesn’t want more grandkids??? Who cares. Haha. Seriously. Unless she is the one supporting them, she doesn’t have a say. And changing your wardrobe to be sure she doesn’t find out is ridiculous. You where what you need to wear girl. And to be Honest, grandma probably knows already. They aren’t clueless. She has been a mom before, and she has already seen you pregnant a few times.

You tell them. You’re married. They’re your family too

Screw them! I had family of both my children tell me that I NEED to get an abortion both pregnancies. At the end of the day it is my body and I told them that they don’t need to be involved if they aren’t supportive. Noone will EVER make that decision for me. It really sucks and I’m sorry that you are dealing with that. Unfortunately I will never forget those words from people and I still find myself letting it affect my relationship with them. As much as I want to be happy they decided to be supportive it is still soo hurtful that they would even try and get me to abort and honestly gross. I’ll find myself getting angry when they are overly involved or trying to tell me how to parent when they told me to get an abortion and feel like how can you really love my babies if you wanted me to abort them?:persevere:

Grandma doesn’t get to decide whether or not you have more kids. Sounds like a bitch.

Stop hiding your bump… They’ll ask

With my 1st my husband kept putting off telling his older kids that they were going to have another sibling. I finally told him he either tells them by xx date or I will tell them, and he is fielding all questions on his own. I’d do something similar in your situation too.

Why hide anything. Just wear clothes that fit you and nature will do the rest. Also you will be more comfortable and a lot less stressed :sunglasses:

Honestly, what does it matter whether your in laws know you’re having another child or not. This us your family along with your husband. As long as you & your husband Financially support your family & ask nothing of others no need to be telling or expecting anyone to know your business!

No more grandchildren? Is she raising them? If not, she can stfu cuz its none of her business. Why “hide” it? Who cares if she finds out? The world will not end.

Don’t hide it. Your baby, your body, your rules. Tell them don’t tell them. But don’t stress about it bc that can be bad for the baby. As far as the grandmother is concerned, it’s not something she can control and shame on her for saying that.

…but seriously though. Whata heck is the big mystery? You’re going to have your baby either way. So don’t mind them and do you.

Why does it matter? This new baby has nothing to do with your family or his outside of your home. :unamused:

It’s none of grandma’s business how many kids you have. Stop trying to hide it. Tell your husband to grow a set of balls and tell his parents or you step up and do it yourself

My husband rarely tells his family when we’re expecting. In fact, with our stillborn they only found out because we took a trip to his home state for easter and they found out by seeing me at 6 months. Not knowing 2 months later my placenta would detach. And it’s really none of their business. Whether or not it’s wanted by them, its wanted by you and that’s all that matters. If my family told me they didn’t want any more family members then I’d probably disown them anyway and do what I want. And you shouldn’t have to hide it just because they don’t like it.

Clearly your husband doesn’t think his family needs to know. Maybe he doesn’t value their input because his mom said something as stupid as she doesn’t want anymore grandchildren :joy:. I can’t even believe that came out of her mouth but that’s beside the point. I wouldn’t go out of my way to tell them but I wouldn’t hide. And if the old bat asks why you didn’t tell her just say you didn’t think she would be interested since she didn’t want him/her.

I’m 34 weeks with my SECOND child and my grandmother told me I needed to get my tubes tied because I don’t need anymore children. They’re already pushing birth control although I’ve gotten pregnant and miscarried on birth control (which they don’t know about, because I don’t want to hear negativity about it). But I feel your pain when other people try to dictate your life on the kids issue. Sometimes it’s better to keep certain negativity away, but I agree it can be hard to hide a bump. Just tell them he has a certain time to tell them or you’ll tell them. You can’t hide it forever. Good luck

Love being a grandma best to you

The fact that you’ve gone half your pregnancy and couldn’t find a single hour in 4 and a half MONTHS to go check on the health and well being of your youngest child makes me think that perhaps when grandma says she doesn’t want anymore grandbabies, she really means y’all cant handle anymore kids and she’s tired of cleaning up after your messes (and perhaps the messes of her other children as well). If I’m wrong, and she has not ever once been obligated to help out or watch the kids, nor has she been asked to, or felt the need to, provide any type of financial assistance, in any capacity, at all, for any of your kids, at any point… then… she’s just a straight up bitch. If she is, in fact, just a bitch, then she has no say in how many kids you or her other children have. So wear whatever you’re comfortable in, and don’t say a damn thing to anyone unless asked, and even then, answer in whatever way makes you happy, cause fuck em. I REALLY don’t think I’m wrong, though… :woman_shrugging:

Congrats!!

And sorry u have a B*** MIL

Who cares…I would flaunt it

It’s your not hers
Its ur children not hers

U should say… that is ur opinion
And ur opinions font matter to us…obviously which is why I have a baby bump

Be proud
Be u

Hes scared of the rejection…and controversy controlling remarks

Tell her…u do u
I’m living my life

If they ask when they see u…blame it ur hubby how he cant keep his hands off u …too much Netflix and chill…lol​:sunglasses::rofl:

Send them all a txt with planned baby on the way!!!
Whoever is going to have invading comments about controlling our lives is not invited to my baby shower

Then keep posting baby bump pics on ur fb so they can see how proud and happy u r

Ur baby can feel the rejection…so u have to be stronger than u think and love love love these months…no more being afraid

Coming from experience
I had a invasive MIL ahe was all up in my face…I was like yup I’m pregnant
We didnt plan it but we r happy and engaged
We want this and loving life.
She like why
U guys know what ur doing

Yup were adults and we dont have to ask u for permission to make babies
Why didn’t u tell me…we said becuz ur son thinks ur controlling and invasive…and feels that he doesnt need to tell u when he makes love to me so why dont u discuss this with ur son…fix ur relationship
:joy::joy::sunglasses:
That was that

After she realized that it’s out of her hands…then she became excited
But my don looks exactly like her son…then she tried to steal him from me…which we dont speak to her anymore
MIL are looney sometimes :smirk:
