My husband and I plan to get pregnant in about 9 months when I am 24 and he is 26. A friend gave us a bouncer seat and bassinet since her baby just grew out of it.
The baby items were sitting in our living room and my father dropped by unexpectedly and saw them. My husband told him that we weren’t hiding a pregnancy, but we had the stuff so we can prepare for a baby. My father didn’t seem upset.
This is why I am upset: I know my dad went home and told my mother. My mother has a HUGE problem with us having a baby, that’s why we weren’t telling her anything. She thinks I should wait until I am 30 and she seems to not want to be a grandmother in her late 40’s.
I didn’t want her to know because she will just say negative things and make me upset about planning a baby.
She did this with my engagement too!
Its done and over with but I am still depressed that my mother knows. I think I am going to avoid her for a while.
Basically we shared baby items we no longer need. Few years ago I was given a bassinet and baby clothes that I was not aware that I was suppose to return. We were doing what I thought we had always done; pass down the baby items we no longer need. The mother calls leaves a nasty message involving my husband, etc. Husband fires by responding to the message she left. It’s been over a year now since I’ve spoken to my friend. I know the mother is mean spirited believes no one can have more than her daughters; etc. It was always like this growing up. I didn’t have much growing up and the roles have now reversed. I tried emailing this friend about six months or so ago and have yet to hear from her. B/c I think a friendship is more valuable than a 0 bassinet. I realize this could have been avoided if the mom hadn’t left the message she left. I don’t want to lose the friendship but what do I do? Oh yeah..over the years I’ve never really heard from them unless there was something (crisis) going on; especially the mother. My friend has gotten better the last 2-3 years before all this went down. Since sharing with her how I felt not only hearing from her when things were going bad. Whenever we would talk we would pick up just like we’ve talked yesterday. I miss her! the message was a very nasty message. How my husband couldn’t afford baby items, etc…which wasn’t the case! They live two hours away. Which was the conflict in meeting up toreturn the bassinet to begin with to avoid the drama. Our daughter hated that bassinet anyway! My husband has asked me several times if she’s called. I stand by my husband and know she shouldn’t left the msg.
