Im pregnant but I haven’t told my husband
I’m pregnant with my 4th baby. After lots of discussion pros and cons etc we decided to go for it, however my mother in law has made it perfectly clear on several occasions that she doesn’t want us to have anymore children. ‘Your hands are too full’ ‘wow 3 is almost too many’ ‘no more kids’ all said in a backhanded joking manner she fully means what she says she’s a classic narc.
This has caused most of the arguments around a 4th child and is the main reason I’ve not yet told my husband I know he’ll be thrilled to begin with but then the stress of having to tell his family will kick in and I just want to enjoy it before that happens.
His family are very ‘proper’ and if they had it their way we’d of had 1 child moved into his mothers womb and stayed there until the kid could go to private school full time 😂 whereas my family are so laid back they’d be like ‘don’t you have a tv’ ‘get a hobby’ etc but they’d be so happy to welcome another baby my mom is one of 5 children and I’ve always wanted a big family I’m so excited but it’s being overshadowed by the in laws 😞

It’s no one’s business how many kids you have and what you as a family decide to do. Enjoy having 4 kids and don’t give a f*** about whatever anyone else has to say! They’ll soon get over it 😡
She doesn’t get a vote!!
First of all, Congratulations hun, children are blessings. Your MIL doesn’t get a say in how many children you and your husband decide to have.
excuse my language but fuck what anyone thinks. its your family that YOU are creating, if you both want more kids thats your decision and not in any way their business, even if they are “grandma and grandpa”. your choice for your family is 100% always going to be your call. you know what you can handle best, and if anyone tries to discourage you or butt in when its not their business, they can kindly fuck off
