pressure from inlaws

[mrscoops]

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and have a 2 year old daughter already. my husband is part of a big family and they have all had girls and no one has had a boy yet. you would think they would be greatful for 8 healthy grand daughters but no my husband gets told he will be a failure if he doesn't have a boy!! I'm not finding the sex out with this pregnancy as they was so mean when I found out with my daughter. I don't care what the sex of the baby is I've never really been bothered health for both baby and me is number 1. however his family are really getting me down with constant insults and pressure how do I escape it?

I have a grandmother who told my mom she was a failure because she has three girls. She made sure that us granddaughters knew this growing up. When I told her I was pregnant she asked what it was going to be. In addition, my mother in law is wanting a little girl because she only had boys. I have told both of them as well as everyone who says I need to know that I am waiting for the surprise because my baby will be loved and wanted because it is a baby and not because it is a boy or a girl. My husband supports this and has taken to saying it as well. I hope it helps to know you are not alone.

he just says to ignore it because it's the norm for him i suppose n they've always been like it but I can't take it. i will eventually crack. just didn't know Wether I'm better to ignore and try and avoid or have it out next time it's mentioned. I totally agree though my husband should speak up just so much pressure on a unborn baby. just wasn't sure if I was overreacting being hormonal and all :)

Sorry to hear this. What does your husband say? Maybe he needs to stand up to his family and tell them to shut their mouths. You don't need this added stress.
