Baby shower today!

[collinsmumma]

My baby shower is today but I'm not too excited lol is this weird? Its just that my entire family hates my boyfriend and always give me a hard time about being with him. I just don't wanna hear it today of all days and I feel like I'm going to :/

Thank you RockRose, maybe you're right. I guess we won't find out if or until they get off my case. I'm not saying him and I don't have our problems because we certainly do but I don't wanna give up while I'm pregnant, I need to know in my heart that things won't be different after our son is born. Honestly after I left him, I came back and he's been nicer than ever. I hope it stays this way cause I'd love to have a real family.

collinsmumma,  I hope today goes well for you and it's a great celebration of your baby.

I do think, if your family stopped being critical of him you'd probably leave him more easily than you will if they continue to criticize.  Don't know why that is - but sometimes,  the only thing keeping a woman in a relationship she knows is a disaster is trying to prove her family wrong about him.  It sort of causes a punch to your self-respect and pride to have your family despise him and turn out to be right.

Keep your head up.

As long as your baby daddy supports you & makes you happy then don't worry about anyone else's opinions because at the end of the day who's going to help you feel better or help change diapers etc ;)

No I am gonna take it personally. Its suppose to be my day not theirs. I listen to it every single day and never say a word, I'm not doing it today. But thanks for your opinion.

..i thought u left ur guy? Forgive me for my opinion but I was in a similar situation (broke up got back together a bunch of times with the father of my first 2 kids) now being on the outside looking in you have to put urself in their shoes with trying to put on a "happy" face that you're in a "happy" relationship...but I also feel like this is your journey and life choices to make and whatever decision u do make they unfortunately need to suck it up and accept it and keep their opinions to themselves especially on days like today. But going in to today just try not to take it personally if they do say anything it must be very hard for them to see u in the situation u are in...they love u and just want the best for u. Good luck today!

I've done that, they just never listen or care about other peoples feelings but I guess we will see lol thank you ladies

^^ preach.
This is a day to celebrate a new baby coming into the world and your hard work to bring him/her here. I'd ask them gently to set it aside. Baby showers (though so fun!) can be really overwhelming as it is, you don't need the stress.

Try telling your mom or whoever is throwing your shower, that today is about you and your baby and you don't want to hear anyone say anything negative about your bf. Ask them to politely to just let it go for this one day, so you can enjoy it. And ask them to ask the other guests/family members to do the same. You shouldn't be upset at your shower. Try to have fun and enjoy the celebration for you and your little one.
