Patricia, not every grandparent buys everything for their grandchild - and I kind of think your parents are overdoing this. This is your baby, and they are kind of taking over.
Your bay will get immense blessings from all the cousins on your boyfriend's side - although they aren't there showering you with merchandise, the love of lots of cousins is an immeasurable blessing.
Enjoy both sets of parents.
I'm nearly 10 weeks pregnant with my first baby to my partner. This is my partners first baby so I'm pretty lucky. My baby's due date is 25th of December 2015. I have told my mum about the baby and she is pretty happy she hasn't mentioned anything about buying stuff for the baby. An my dad has passed away but he would be proud I'm pregnant. Though I don't know about my partners parents because they told my partner not to get me pregnant just yet but I don't get it my partner is old enough to have a kid. I'm worried for my partner and I to tell my partners parents about the pregnancy. Hope they will want to meet their grandchild and buy stuff for the baby.
I'm having my parents first grandchild also and they are very exited. They made me a baby shower two days ago. My partner's parents already have 3 grandchildren so this baby is not a big deal. I've had problems with my mother in law and I wish she never had to see my baby. He gets so pissed of when I tell him that and he tries to defend his mom saying she helped us so much when it's bull! I really don't want her near my baby or me ever.
Aww it's okay I'm sure they will come around once the baby is born! Who doesn't love a new born <3 stay positive mama!
Aww I'm sorry I don't know how some grandparents can act like that, the new baby is still their blood so idk what the difference is, when my mother in law first found out I was pregnant she was like I'm old I can't take care of anymore kids but when her other sons wife has kids she takes care of all them she's taking care of their 4th child right now and she watches all of them at the same time every day for free ages 1, 2, 5, and 8 and if my brother in law wife had another one she would be there in a heart beat to baby sit that one too bc she likes that son better than my boyfriend bc he doesn't smoke like my boyfriend does -_- noww she talks about watching my daughter but idk about that
Im having the same problem .. my boyfriend has a 3 year old wit his ex amd be4 he was born they bought him his buggy and aload of other stuff and he still wasnt there first grandchild.. his mother used to ring his ex all the time and ask about her pregnancy. But with me they have boughy nothing for my baby. I dont want stuff but it frustrates me that they did all this stuff for his ex and son .. whats so different about me and our daughter . Even when we visit with his son its all about him and they dont even ask about there granddaughter and I end up goin for a walk to just cry cause it upsets me so much. I give birth in 2 weeks and dont want my daughter treated differently to his son cause that will be it im waiting to see how they are when shes born if there the same they wont see my daughter until they cop on .I kknow how u feel but at least ur partner doesnt have a child from a previous relationship to make the situation worse
I know his mom will help by baby sitting but I kind of don't want her to bc she takes care of all her other grandchildren and I feel like it's too many kids for her already for me to add a baby to her list
And My bf just got offended bc my parents are buying her her stroller and car seat -_- like really i don't see anything wrong wit it we can really use their help wit them providing us with that
Give them a chance their used to having grandkids so they might buy things after my grandma is the same way she has so many so its like wow a new baby but I know she's going to help out with my baby
