this is too ridiculous not to share
so my mom's family is mmmm a bit self involved to say the least. i am at a point where i just shrug and laugh because i have zero expectations when it comes to them. but it does bother me that my mom gets really hurt. she does so much for everyone it would be nice if someone reciprocated for her, but yeah that will never happen.
so my cousin is visiting from florida with her kids and coming on friday for like 4 or 5 days. she and her mother (my mom's older sister) have repeatedly made comments about how i should schedule my c-section for when she is here or so that if there is a bris/naming it falls when she is here. we have kind of shrugged and laughed it off. well as the date comes closer of my cousin's visits the comments get more and more ridiculous. and my mom has kept her cool and just shrugged it off but today she let it rip on my aunt, and rightfully so.
today my aunt calls my mom and asks how dressy a naming/bris would be. and my mom was just why are you asking this? well my cousin needs to pack outfits for herself and her kids so she "needs" to know. so my mom just told her that she doesn't want to hear one more thing about my babies being born while my cousin is here or before as right now our only focus is me keeping the babies cooking as long as possible. and my aunt goes on and on about how it's completely fine for me to have the twins now and nothing would be wrong and my mom is being silly.
yeah it's so silly for my mom to want her daughter to cook her grandchildren as long as possible.

After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
"Huh, did you go to medical school when I wasn't paying attention?"
How completely absurd.
why do people, especially family think it's okay to insert their opinions and requests into someone else's birth plan?
It is not okay for you to have these babies yet. You should photocopy some of the pages out of Dr. Luke's book with the different size feet and head measurements and just write at the top, does it look like a week doesn't make a difference to you?
This pretty much says it all.
Daycare is SO exhausting!

How rude of them! Keep those babies cooking for as long as you can!
