How long did it take your family to get over their disappointment that you were pregnant? - November 10th 2010, 03:38 AM

I understand that my parents were disappointed that I got pregnant young, but I'm 7 months along now and I thought they'd be over it by now. My situation isn't even as bad as lots of other people. I was already married before I got pregnant and my husband is supporting us financially. Sure, we don't have a lot of extra money and we haven't finished college, but we have everything we need. I'm trying to be happy and excited, as there is nothing I have ever wanted more than to be a mother, but my mom and step-dad still bring up how sad they are that I'm having a baby and my dad and step-mom don't even want to talk about the baby. It's making me feel so sad and ashamed. Surely, there is a point when I should be allowed to be happy and enjoy my pregnancy?

How long did it take your family to come around? Is there anything you did to help them accept it?


From your head down to your toes,
You're not much, goodness knows.
But you're so precious to me,
Sweet as can be,
Baby of mine.
