Hi
Iv just found out im pregnant, I want to wait until the 12 week scan to tell my step daughter (9) but this weekend iv tried to approach the subject and as previously happened shes shot me down.
We are in the process of moving to a bigger house but no matter what, she has an excuse for everything.. she doesn't want to share her room (even though shes at her mums half the week) , she doesn't want me to love a new baby more, she doesnt like babies (which I know isnt true because shes always fussing over them).
I want to include her but shes making me feel absolutely awful. She doesnt understand why I want my own babies and when I explain she thinks shes not good enough. It breaks my heart.
Lately iv had terrible sickness and I dont know if shes twigged but she wont go out with her dad or grandparents/ aunties, she just wants to be with me constantly and when I ask whats wrong she just says 'your my mummy noone elses, and I dont want to leave you' I find this very hard because she has a mum and her mum is good enough (rightly so) when my step daughters has had enough of us.
Iv been her step mum for 6 years and I love her like my own and I treat her like my own, I tell her all the time I love her and show her. Shes very cuddly and loving, iv never done anything to make her think shes not wanted by me.
I'm ranting because shes in a sulk with me, I just dont want this news to come as a huge shock to her, I want her to expect it and be happy about it.
