Do family have to really be that disgusting....?(long vent)
So, last weekend I had my baby shower. I live about 3+ hours away from them (DHs and my parents live in the same town) and havent seen them since I was about 4 months. So they see me for the first time, and I was scared. Either they were going to lie to me (about how cute my belly is) or say that I am fat right to my face. So I was expecting fat cracks all weekend. I don't really look big but our fam always go for the jabs. But luckily, they were very nice about how I looked (with big astonishments on their faces actually) LoL.
So DH and I think we're in the clear. Nice party, (as nice as it can be) nice words, and relaxing. SO, then the ball drops. I noticed that I have never even gotten a chance for them to see our 20 wk ultra sound pics yet. DH's fam was up first. I got ALL of them out and DHs lil' sis was like wow those are kind of ugly. His mom and grandma said the same. Then, his grandpa decided to put his 2 cents in. He said wow look at that NIG**R NOSE!!! 
I said what exactly is a "nig*er nose" in your opinion? He was like a big nose!!
I was just in shock. I just looked at them while they were all laughing. DH and I just looked away in disgust (the fact that they all laughed at the extremely racist comment, and all they could do was laugh at our pics). We got up and left. I couldn't believe how disgusting that was!! DH was so mad and they didn't get it. So then we went to my fam...
It was easter and all the fam was there. We were still upset about what happened but at least I knew my fam would not be like that. So I get them out and showed my mom and she was so happy. my dad was kind of happy but wished they were more current. Then I showed my sis and her BF ( who everyone in our fam hates). They looked at them at the same time and my sis who is never like that to me said oh shes a little cute. Then her as*hole of a BF says wow!!! look at that NIG*ER NOSE!!! Have you told DH it isn't his yet??? and my sis started cracking up!!! I was speechless AGAIN!!! I walked up to my room, packed and we left. I was so mad and we both ended up crying in the car on the 3 hr ride home which i wasn't even supposed to take!
I mean, WHATEVER if they were joking or not. FU*K THEM!! We come up to see them, and have a good time and they never come to see us. My mom called and tried to apologize about it, but you know, if I thought for a second they were going to make fun of their grandchild, I would have never showed them those pics. I mean, I would NEVER say anything negative about someones ult snd pics or any baby pics for that matter!! and I know my babys gonna be dam cute, but I am so disgusted with our families!!! I am so glad my beautiful little girl won't have to be raised with those as*holes!!!! If you got to the end I applaud you!! I just had to vent!!

Not that it's going to make it any better, but the u/s pic in your siggy does NOT make her look like she has a big nose. I think it's an adorable profile, I'm jealous, my pics all sucked, you can't see shiit.
That being said, sorry but both your families are a bunch a dickheads!
Yea they were talking about a 4d one we had. I never thought she had a big nose!!! it was not big in the pic, it looks a little weird because she was hiding an edge of it. Plus all the shading that comes with it. So yea, they were just being irritating and thought they were being "funny". BTW I thought that i have a cute profile of her too!! LoL!!
Im sure it will be worth the wait once you see how your lil' one will look without the pics!! LoL!!
my mil has been calling me fat from the beginning. i dread going over there. shes always watching what im eating and elbows who ever is next to her to watch me eat. its so annoying and i dont think she realizes what shes doing. i was not excited to show her our latest u/s pics and just as i thought i got such comments as "oh look she so fat" ?"wow, look what a huge nose she has" and "her feet look like they're as big as canoes!" made me cry too!?
Im sorry your families were so insensitive. i dont think people realize how sensitive we are about our bodies and the pictures we are sharing of our babies. we want them to be as excited as we are but instead they take all the wind from our sails.
i feel you girl.?
wtf!
where the hell do they live that n***** nose is a known term? weird that they both said that ..... and how f'n rude!
and wtf do they expect from an ultra sound? everything looks crazy on em.
my kids dong looks like a third leg!
?
you need to practice your drop kicks too!??
mil is like that. she talks to her son like that too (my dh) ?i came and i started defending him and i snap back all the time. maybe more than i should but sometimes i just don't have the energy only because im pregnant now. the pregnancy has made me so freaking sensitive! but once im back to normal if she even tries to say anything to my baby she will know the fury of my wrath. i dont care if this is her only grandchild and dh is her only son. unless she learns some manners she wont be able to see this baby. ill be damned if anyone tries to give my baby some sort of complex or insecurites over her looks. if anyone does that to either of my babies (dh included) i think that person should be me! ha ha!?
