Seriously, mom??

TLiggy

So I broke the news to my mom.  Her response was, "Oh. Well good."  Ummm, seriously??  I realize that my siblings have already given you four other grandchildren but can you try to be just a LITTLE bit excited about my first one?  Especially after you saw me go through a miscarriage that broke my heart and my husband's?  Ugh.  I'M SO PISSED AND HURT.    Thanks for letting me vent.

I'm so sorry! Please don't let it bother you too much, I'm sure she'll be more outwardly excited soon.

And I can relate... I'm dreading telling my mom, because her reaction probably won't be as positive as your moms was.

I had this at Christmas with the one I went on to miscarry and I told her how hurt I was that nobody seemed excited. My cousins reaction really upset me as she said "how will you cope" no congrats or anything. I have an almost 3 year old. But when I found

I'm sorry! Did you tell her you thought she was being a little insensitive and that you'd appreciate a little more enthusiasm?

In the mean time, I will break out my pom poms and cheer you on!!!!!!!

I'm so sorry! Unfortunately I understand this frustration and hurt,I got the exact same reaction, granted it must be lots worse for you seeing as how this is your first. Hopefully once the news sinks in, she'll start to get excited. For what it's worth,I

Well you got more than me. When I had to "break the news" to my mom that we had miraculously conceived on our own, she was so shocked that she wouldn't even look at me for 10 min. She just stared out the window... We were driving in the car...

I'm sorry that your mom reacted that way. I felt like nobody was excited for us with my first pregnancy. We conceived two months after we got married We planned to start trying right away. I stopped my birth control the day after our wedding. People we

I'm sorry your mom reacted that way. That would really hurt my feelings. There are always people who are going to say insensitive things so you have to just ignore it and actually share information with those who seem to care and be genuinely happy for

Thanks for all the encouragement, ladies.  Honestly, I feel better already!  I'll admit that I was kinda scared about joining TB and sharing such personal things, but it's so nice to have others who can relate to what I'm going through!  We

Is it possible that she is trying to contain her excitement because of what happened with this first pregnancy? I'm hoping that didn't come off as negative, because I didn't mean it that way at all, but it's just a thought. As others have said, I'm sure s

OP- I'm sorry about this. Grandparents always come around when the baby is born.

Teal Owl- I'm happy you've moved on from an abusive relationship and are now in a great place. I know how hard that is.

My mom was not excited for my first.

DH and I tried for 6 months for DS so you would think the idea that we were ttc would have sunk in. The first words out of my dad's mouth was "Great! Just what you need!". Really?! I was 28, married and settled. Why wouldn't a baby be the next step. I

I'm sorry.  That was a really crappy response. I hope she comes around. Be good to you.

katiejanie26

Oh man, I'm sorry she had that reaction for you. I'm getting the same thing, because it's my second. You want so badly for the people you love to be as excited as you are. She'll get more excited the further along you get. And when the baby comes, she'll

I'm sorry that happened to u. I expect a similar reaction when I tell my mom. Hope it gets better.

When I told my mom I was pregnant in October  (which unfortunately ended in mc), my mom was less than thrilled.  And DH and I are in a "ideal" situation to have kids.  Good marriage (and my parents love him), good jobs, no debt, big enou

I'm glad you feel better. I honestly bet she'll come around as time goes on. She may be over the initial excitement of it all, but hopefully she will get caught up on the actuality of it later.

I understand being disappointed by a reaction.
