parent issues just venting

I have 2 and a half weeks left. I'm very excited to meet my new little one. Everything seems perfect and in order except for my relationship with my mom. We've been fighting since April (or rather off and on since I met my husband. She apparently has a lot of problems with him and April was the final straw of be respectful to him or don't be in my life) I've told her several times all I need is an apology to him and we can move forward in life. This is her first grandchild and she's been desperately wanting on for the last 10 years or so (which is strange on a whole new level cause I was a single teenager when baby fever started with her). I really thought she would have come around by now but nothing. She still hasn't apologized yet. I know I can't back down on this because if I cave it will never stop and I won't have her treat my husband like this. But a part of me just wishes she'd come around.

  • Ugh that sucks. I know it must be hard having to restrict her from your family like that, but I think you're doing the right thing sticking to your guns. You, hubby, and baby are a package deal now. Hopefully she gets the message that you are no longer putting up with her disrespect sooner rather than later.

    Just try and focus on your new addition and all the positives in your life. The ball is in her court now- You have stated what you need from her and she will come around when she wants to. Nothing you can do until then so why dwell on it!

    Good luck!
