"Invader" with question

in Success after IF

Sneaking over from TTTC here - I posted a rant there last night about my parents (militantly unsupportive of our pursuing IF treatments, and often seem to have some negative comment to make when someone's pregnant), and figured I'd run this by you ladies.

For those of you whose families were completely against the idea of your having kids through IF treatments (or even having kids period), did they have a change of heart after you announced your BFP or after your children were born?

Growing up, my siblings and I were very close to our grandparents, and it really saddens me to think that my parents might reject my children when they're born because they disagree with how they were brought into this world.

Anyone have an experience like this?

    I'm sorry, I don't have any experience with this, but can't imagine not having the support of my family.  ((HUGS))  I hope they come around!

    My IL's were very clear when DH and I got married that they were not interested in being grandparents.  Therefore when DH and I had issues TTTC and were persuing IVF we did not tell them about it, to this day they do not know.

    Heres the kicker though......they are doting Gradparents who love DS like crazy, seriously they cannot stop bragging about him to everyone they come into contact with!!

    Can't really speak for my parents my whole side of the family with the exception of my father is crazy.  My dad loves DS but I wouldn't say he is doting.  But he does enjoy being with him when he visits.

    Weird - my mom had a similar stance.  Did you ever ask them what caused their change of heart?

    Nah although in retrospect DH and I think they may have just been trying to stay out of our business.

    Not my parents, but my grandmother was extremely against us doing IVF.  I still don't know why my dad told her, but she reacted very poorly.  She was great with me through the pg and she loves them very much.  She had religious reasons to be against it all so I think once I "got PG" she understood that there were babies and she got past the whole IVF thing.
