So upset

Ok so yesterday I found out my husband's family is not going to do a baby shower for me because they are mad. Last weekend we were at his family reunion and it seem like everyone had something to say. My brother in law keep saying to me you have to start walking now, then his uncle started saying you can eat shrimp bcuz its bad for you, then my sister in law started saying you have to stop eating spicy thing, if not your baby is going to come out with white little pimples and babies with that look ugly. I just didn't say anything but I was getting frustrated that everyone had something to say. my sister in law was going to buy us the crib, so that day I went to pick up the one I liked. But then the next day, I was in their house and I felt like I need a masage and again she had something to say. your not supposed to have neck masage because it cause pre labor. And I had it. It seems like she cant keep her mouth closed. I told my husband that I didn't want anthing from her cuz it seems that because shes buying the crib she has the right to speak her mind. Its my pregnancy!! My husband got bad at me and told all his family members that I didn't want nothing from them. Seems like he doesnt understand. I know they are exited and but not even my mom tells me what to do or what not to do. I'm angry. I know they are mad but I dont feel like I should appologise. I know that it anger that day contribute to my crazy hormones but still. Lol

Thank you!! Exactly they dont know how I feel. Its not ready been pregnant having crazy hormones plus still having to deal with them. I just had to make them stop. They did the same thing with their uncles wife. They are always putting  her down. That shes not a good mom. what gets me mad it's that my sister in law made a big deal because I was pregnant like if she was the one having it. She was extremely mad. Thank you ladies, I need it to vent this.since my husband doesn't want to talk about it. He thinks I'm been selfish. Maybe I am but like I say it's my pregnancy, at the end of the day they wont be there pushing with me.

I just ignore it even tho it does get really frustrating. Im not trying to tell u what to do but maybe talk to ur husband and tell him how u feel. Maybe it will help things.

This is the same reason I dont like bein ariund my in laws. They always have something to say and most the time its common since crap. My in laws are mad at me for getting pregnant and have told me that they hope I fail as a parent. My mother in law and sis in law are always telling me how to handle my pregnancy like they know how im feeling better than I do.

I know they are doing it in the nice way but Its so frustrating, having everyone giving opinions. besides that s they way they have always been specially my sister in law. Just because she work as a receptionist in a hospital she feels like ms. know it all.
