Im finding myself really irritated by my father in laws reaction to the pregnancy and I can’t tell if it’s hormones, me being unreasonable or he is legitimately being annoying! My in laws have never made any secret of how much they want grandkids, even at our wedding my FiL got hold of the mic during speeches and said he can’t wait to have grandkids My husband is only just 29 and we’ve been together years so it’s not as if they’ve had to really wait a long time or there was any real risk that they aren’t getting grandkids.
Fast forward to now and I’m 11 + 5. Quite a few times now when we’ve spoken about the baby Or should a scan he’s said “thank you”. I actually snapped the Last time and said “what are you saying thanks for it’s not a present”. I think I’m just afraid of how smothering they’ll be once the baby arrives. We all get on fine but they can be a bit OTT and I don’t want them turning up at ours constantly. There seems to be almost a feeling that it will be their child not ours! Am I being totally irrational? Please be kind if so!
