Told my parents today

And I feel like a weight has been lifted.  No negative comments and I think it was because I almost cried.  Phew!  I feel better.

    they keep making comments that the current ones I have don't get enough attention and that I can't handle the ones I have, because I do a lot of this stuff by myself..  Also, they are people who in general tell you how they really feel first and then it sinks in and they are happy for you.  They did that when I married my husband, when we were of with dd and DS, so I was expecting the same type of thing.

     My husband works weekends and often nights and so I do a lot of the child caring and work full time as well.  However, my husband and I try to carve out family time that we share as a family and time we spend with just one of our kids individually, so we do stuff that they want to do.  The kids are happy, for the most part are well behaved and other then being a little bit hyper, I think we do a good job with them.

    I am having this baby on my own and my parents are Indian, very traditional. This will be a shock and a big dissapointment. So Im waiting until atleast 12 weeks b/c I feel crappy now and Ill be better in managing their negativeness in 2nd trimester. I know I should do it in person but I kind of feel like a letter might be good? This way I don't have to hear all their negative comments..With time their comments will reduce to half? Im trying to keep in the best spirits possible since the baby feels everything. The father of the baby has been negative towards me and has not been helping. I know big new should be delivered face to face but they are really going to flip out, BIG TIME...

    How should I break this news to them?
