I was in a&e two nights ago with dd and I met a couple with a newborn who were really lovely. The woman was telling me how she has just moved to the country and her newborn dd never stops crying (Drs diagnosed colic) and she's so alone, her mum tried to come over but couldn't (visa was refused) and so I gave her my number and said she is more than welcome to call me if she needs a shoulder, friend, advice etc.
I have two Dc and remember the lonely days before my family lived near me and I'm more than willing to meet for coffee etc.
My family on the other hand think I was silly simply because of where they have moved from to me it doesn't matter where they came from (Jordan).
Considering my dm lived in the Middle East and grew up there I find it pretty offensive.
Someone please tell me what I can say to them. I've raised my eyebrows and said to me it doesn't matter who they are or where they came from we are all humans and I'll do what I like thank you but that was met with lecturing.
My family are usually lovely but sometimes they can be judgemental even though they say who open minded they are
I'm not b u am I? In wanting to tell them to piss off
