Tell them yourself and it’s none of thier buisness if you can support and provide for and love them how many you have and remind them it takes 2 to make a baby you didn’t do it by yourself and if they don’t love or want to be around it then they wont be around any of them stand up for yourself and your child/children

None of MILs business how many kids you have unless she’s taking care of them & supporting them… husband needs a vasectomy if he doesn’t want more kids…

Of course you have the right to be mad. It isnt his parents business anyway. You and your hubby will be raising this child. His parents are being pure selfish.

Good grief you don’t need permission from anyone about having babies ,if your husband doesn’t say anything to his outside family that’s his problem …goodness me if you are happy about this baby coming then never mind them if they whinge about being a grandparent again it’s their problem. You enjoy having kids so be it …best of luck to you both . Maybe husband is nervous about mentioning it cos he knows what they are going to say tell him you are not bothered what they say it’s important that you both want this little too.

Do what you need to. If you and your husband are happy, who cares.
What I don’t understand is, what is up with his mother? Making it clear she dosent want to be a grandmother again. Lol, who does she think she is?

Ahahahaha she doesn’t want anymore grandchildren… Thats a fucking joke who the fuck she think she is… Ring her asap and tell her the GOOD news…

First of all, what right does she have saying she doesn’t want more grandchildren? Unless she is raising your kids for you then she has no right to say anything. You shouldn’t let it bother you, if you’re happy then be happy! You dont have to hide anything! Is your husband ashamed of having another child? If he doesn’t want to tell them there must be a reason other than “she doesn’t want any more grandchildren.” I’m sorry but it irritates me that she is saying that when it is NOT her decision.

I remember being pregnant with our 4th. (When he was born, we had a 5 1/2 yr old daughter, 4 yr old son, and 23 month old daughter). And not wanting to tell family since they had made many comments about how we shouldn’t have anymore. There were very rude ways of telling us that, too. Finally, they found out. And luckily, my husband and I were able to focus on loving our baby, being excited, and tried to just ignore the rudeness. Congratulations on the baby. They are always blessings no matter what others say, and whether you planned this or not…which really is no one’s business anyway.

You have 3 kids, going on 4. One of them is barely a year old! You need to be made of aware of what your mother in law is telling u: you have enough kids! Tie your tubes, lady!

Unless you live with them it’s none of their business .

Who tf cares if she wants grandchildren or not. Honestly that baffles me. She can’t make you abort the baby. Maybe don’t eat anything from her after you tell them :joy:

No more grandkids?? What the what?? She has no say on how many children her kids decide to have. I would just tell them the next time they just swing through. They decided how many kids they would have, now they should keep their opinions to their self.

Unless they are helping to support the existing grandchildren, they have no right to say anything, none of their business!

How can any one say they don’t want any more grandchildren like it’s thier desision to make, kids and grandchildren are a blessing and she is totaly in the wrong she doesn’t deserve to be thier Gran, also your husband should be supportive it’s you raising your children not his moms any ways. I would tell them myself your husband should be proud to be having anther baby not treat like a burden because of his mom, should also get a back bone it’s your kids not his moms

Is MIL bank rolling y’all? Paying your Bills or something? If not, Its really not that serious. Tell them your expecting again. They don’t like it, oh well.

I’d come up with a cute announcement that u & hubby create & just let everyone know…MIL included. Just keep it really positive & if for some reason she says something negative, don’t take it to heart.

You can either wait for them to say something and then say “wow, I’m surprised he hasn’t told you! I thought you’d be the first on this side to know!” or say “since Hubs doesn’t seem to want to tell you for some reason and I’m already 20 weeks, I thought you should know we’re expecting.” If they give you any crap, just refer them to your Husband.

honestly id just wear whats comfortable… if they figure it out they figure it out and you get your wish, they will know…

“She doesn’t want anymore grandchildren” then she shouldn’t have had kids if she didnt want them to make the choice of how many kids they want. She’s irrelevant and I would be upset at him

You have a mouth. They are your in-laws. Tell them yourself.

It’s not her decision to make. Either tell her yourself or make it obvious you’re pregnant one day and when she makes a comment just turn to your husband or call him up on the phone to tell her (or tell her yourself). Who cares if she doesn’t want more grandchildren? That’s not her choice.

How many children you have is a personal choice, if you can provide and take care of your children it is no ones business.

I’d tell them yourself since he obviously don’t have your back. Wonder what else he don’t back you up on. Sad really. If they don’t like it then don’t let it get to you. Just tell him you and your baby will stay away from them too. You do not need their approval or acceptance to have and take care of a baby. And BTW your mom in law sounds like a selfish old bat.
