You've held your tongue. You've been accommodating and you've even tried to be understanding. Here's the thing... It's THEIR issues. Maybe your mom has something going on inside her that she's putting off on you or she's upset with herself and is acting this way to get the focus on it. Who knows but either way you didn't cause this. I think the best thing you can do is not contact them for a little while. Tell your grandparents the situation and be done with your parents for right now. They'll realize or even already know that they've messed things up and that their upset about not having control.

That has got to be so incredibly hard. They are your family, and you don't want to let them down. But, you aren't doing anything wrong! You are being bought a ticket, you are being a SAHM (which I know people will disagree with me but I really do honestly believe is better for a family), you're doing what is right for YOUR familiy, you're standing by your husband. It would be wrong not to do any of those things.

It's ridiculous.<br /><br />Have you thought of maybe taking a "break" from your family for a bit? No communication or anything except maybe a card with a photo or two of the baby? Like for a couple months, so you both can get a breather.Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543581308363689982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814740137597406278.post-25719437148542927962012-10-22T16:09:31.460-04:002012-10-22T16:09:31.460-04:00we just went through something like this with my h...we just went through something like this with my husbands family. right before i had our second child and he deployed. his mom flipped out that we didnt want to fork out 10 grand for a cruise next yr that the whole family is going on. we had already planned a family trip to disney when he returns. we want to have time as a family to be around each other again. she said it was stupid and a waste of money, that her trip was more important and that we should do that. i NICELY explained many times why were decided to do disney. i finally gave up and sent the emails to the hubby and he dealt with it. she said he was rude and disrespectful. hello or course he stood up for me, im his flippin wife. she has never let her boys go since they got married and joined the military. i actually didnt think she would show up for the baby. and she was there a total of maybe an hr. very sad indeed. <br /><br />try not to get too down about it. i know thats hard but your doing whats right. parents need to realize we are all grown up now and have families of our own and we will do whats best for them.<br /><br />oh and to kinda top my last story. after i found out that i was having a girl and we decided to name her pyper my mom decided to tell me that it was a ugly name and she hated it. that i didnt know how to pick a good name and that she could do better. then she preceded to tell me a girl name she found "pretty" at least once a week for 3 months.<br /><br />we all have family drama. you and joe know whats best for yall... stick to your guns :)heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315114628940779935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814740137597406278.post-10399185637724229272012-10-22T15:57:12.171-04:002012-10-22T15:57:12.171-04:00I'm so sorry lady =(

My family sounds a bit ...Family drama is the worst. My family sounds a bit like yours. They think that because my husband and I make decisions together and it isn't always what they want that I am just going with what he wants. The hardest part is feeling like you have to defend yourself and your marriage and your choices when in reality you should get the support with no explanation needed. All I can say is keep your chin up and stay confident in your decisions. <br /><br />P.s. the job market is awful in ga! So that solves that. ;)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854302342303748377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814740137597406278.post-34828738211203568882012-10-22T15:07:21.129-04:002012-10-22T15:07:21.129-04:00Aww I'm so sorry you're going through this...Aww I'm so sorry you're going through this. I can't even imagine how you are dealing with this all on top of taking care of an 8/9 month old. I don't have any words of wisdom except I will definitely keep you in my prayers and hope that this all rights itself. <br /><br />One thing I've noticed with a lot of people having problems with their in-laws is that once people get married, their parents still expect to be number one when that's not the case at all. You and your mate and the family you've created together are number one. <br /><br />You can't be married to your husband and your parents, if that makes any sense. So I really hope that you don't blame yourself for how your parents are feeling. I'll pray that they find some understanding. Good luck, mama.
