stressed

The father of my child &' my mother don't get along at all .. my mom has given him the cold shoulder since the big announcement ..she even has went so far as to try to make separate doctors appts for me &' not want him there .. now she is tryin to prevent me goin back home to him .. its to the point where he says wen the baby arrives he doesn't want me makin special trips to visit my mom &' he doesn't want her in our home. This hurts me so bad &' stresses me out so much. Any advice?

The talk with my mom was a fluke but im determined to keep trying. On the bright side I'm finally back with my boyfriend. :)

I agree with Adgal, I was in a pretty big fight with my sister when I went into labor, then everything was back to normal like it never happened after my son came!

I'll bet you when that grandbaby arrives everyone comes together and makes friends.  Babies have an amazing way of bringing families together.  I hope all turns out for you, and congrats on your pregnancy.

I am sorry tour mom is acting this way. :\ maybe she will finally understand and realize once they are there to get you. I hope it all goes over well, and she stops acting that way.

Yes you do. And just make sure you stick your foot down and stay strong. Even if your mom does get mad i am sure she'll end up coming around. I hope you get home soon.

I think its a power struggle also they fail to realize I'm the one carrying a baby so ultimately I make the decisions

It is very hard and stressful. I had the talk with her before we got pregnant but when i did end up pregnant it brought them a lil closer together. I hope the talk works a little bit. She's acting selfish. You are an adult and she should let you decide for yourself. It seems as if they're fighting for the "power" if you know what i mean.

My mom and now husband didn't get a long in the beginning either and she didn't "approve" of him and went as far as trying to get him to date someone else so i wasn't with him. I eventually sat her down and told her straight forward. I said, look mom i know you dont like him and you dont want me to be with him.. but you dont hardly even know him. I told her all the great things he was. I said i am happy, he makes me happy and vice versa. Then i told her no matter what she did i wanted to be and was going to be with him and if she didn't like it she didn't have to be a part of it so she bettet choose how she actd for now on and how she looks at things cause she could either be a part of ALL of us or none of us. It was really hard to tell her that but she thought about it and said okay i will try. And i told him he needed to try as well. Eventually they started talking and got a long just fine.
