Family Issues

My Boyfriend & I Have Been Dating About A Yr. Now & His Family Still Doesn't Like Me Because I'm Younger Than Him. I'll Be 20 In A Few Weeks & He's 25. I'm In College, Working, & NEVER Loved Another Guy More Than I Love Him. We're Now Expecting Both Our First Child & They Aren't Too Excited About The News Like My Fam. Are. I Never Wanted Kids Of My Own But All Of That Changed When I Met My Soulmate. I Don't Want To Be A Snotty B*tch, But I Won't Feel Comfortable With My Child Being With Them. They Never Spoken To Me (see one another at church weekly) Or Given Me A Chance Just Cause Of My Age. I Could Understand If I Were 14 But I'm Grown Just As Him. I Tried Forming Some Kind Of Bond Now But They Just Shut Me Out & Now Idc Anymore I'm No Longer Trying. Would I Be Wrong For Not Allowing Our Child To Be With Them Without Our Supervision (NO OVERNIGHTS, OUTINGS, ETC. ) .

Thank You So Much! That's My Biggest Thing. They Could Continue To Not Approve Of My Age Or Whatever, But Respect Me As A Mother. . & Not To Mention They're Not Happy About The News Anyways. My Family Is The Only Support We Have Because They Know I Never Wanted My Own Kids & Are Overly Excited About Me Continuing The Family After All. My Bf And I Just Wanted Second Opinions

Me Being A ftm I'm Already Protective Of Our Bundle. That Being Said Just As They Never Got To Know Me I Don't Know Them Either & Don't Feel Comfortable With My Child Over Like I Said. The World We Live In Today Is Beyond Horrible You Can't Trust Anyone. I Was Molested Twice Growing Up By Family Members Only Making My Decision That Much Harder. My Bf Doesn't Think I'm Wrong At All He Believes His Family Is Stupid. I Don't Really Want My Kid Not Knowing Their Grandparents But In The Same Sense, Their "Grandparents" Aren't Happy About The Arrival So Why Should I ?!

I think you are absolutely right if they don't even have the respect for you the mother of there grandbaby to even say hello, how are you feeling or congratulations then why should you let your child with them. Before they get to have your child overnights and for outings they should at least have the odasity to have some respect for you first.... my personal opinion

Do you honestly think they would hurt their grandchild. Granted you and them may not have the best relationship, but unless they given you reason to think they'd harm your baby I don't see why you wouldn't let the kid be around them with no supervision. Maybe once the baby is born they'll come around with the relationship with you. But y'all relationship and their relationship with their grandchild has nothing to do with each other.
