Honestly my fiancé and I are so disappointed in our parents. They are not as helpful as we thought they would be. I live with my MIL and she does not help at all! Just wants to look at my baby for a few moments and then stays in her room.
My mom went and got pregnant right after i gave birth so shes too busy being a mom again and cant be as involved as a grandma
@Vanesa I’m sorry that’s hard I feel the same here- for me it’s mostly because my family lives far away but I thought my friends would be more involved but that doesn’t seem to be the case
@Wendy I’m sorry to hear that it just be frustrating 😞
Yep feeling this for sure. My MIL talked a big game about being super involved and even looked down on my parents for not being as involved because they live across the country. And I honestly thought she would be super involved. She doesn’t live far away and she was SUPER involved and helpful when my SIL had a baby 6 months before me even though my SIL lives 2+ hours away. My MIL would spend a whole day over there per week helping out and sometimes two. Then our baby comes and crickets. Our baby doesn’t even know her and she still drives 2 hours to hang out with my SIL even though they have childcare and we don’t. Even though she has a rough relationship with my SIL and she has a great relationship with me and my husband. Even though we live waaay closer. It’s been heartbreaking for both my and my husband
Yep had family said they would be there for me and baby boy and anything I needed they would support us but now no body bothered apart from my immediate family. As a single mammy that upset me but now I no who my son needs and I won’t allow people to just bother when they want I would rather they not bother at all my boy has me his aunties uncles grandma and grandad the rest can jog on
Yep.
@Natalie that sounds horrible I am so sorry you guys have to feel this way
@Emma that’s a great attitude! At least you know the people that actually Matter!
@Angelika it’s got to be done not having people part time in mine or my boys life he’s only 6 month old but he’s loved so much by the ones that care his dad and his family aren’t apart of his life either he chose to drink n get with his new lass lol
@Emma oh no that’s so sad but he is lucky to have you ❤️
@Angelika I’m lucky to have him he’s an absolute dream and I can’t wait for our first Christmas making lots of memories xxx

yes! my mom would say she would retire as she was asking for a grandchild and she’s still working. this unplanning on our part caused a lot of stress in a nanny then daycare search. thankfully my in-laws retired before baby’s 2nd birthday but i miss and want my mom :’(
@Cindy aw I’m so sorry 😞
Feel like people have avoided me like the plague, lol
@Rhiannon I’m sorry to hear that 😞
Yep I’ve had friends come around me to celebrate the baby coming but now that the baby is here, they don’t come by.
@Saida so sad 😞
Same here :/ my irl village is literally just me and my husband. I get so jealous when I see videos of people online having big support groups
