Very first world problems, and I know when I put it all down here I will sound like a spoilt brat, but I just need to rant!!
Found out on we a pregnant (unplanned) with number 3. Feeling a whole mix of emotions around this and still feels very surreal/trying to get our heads around it.
In-laws are up for Xmas. They’re not staying in our house but are spending 90% of their time here. They’re lovely, but the house is in its usual Xmas state of toys and presents everywhere and it’s just feeling very cramped as we have an extra 4 people here.
MIL is very much “oh dear, how are you feeling, have you got your head round it? I’m sure you’ll get used to it.” When what I’d actually like to hear is “congratulations! Wonderful news!”
We have deep snow. I hate driving in snow but will have to drive them to the train station when they go home as dh is at work.
Dh is at work so I’m with the in-laws without him.
We’ve just found out from our mortgage provider that despite being with them and paying a mortgage off for 12 years and being in this house for 10, we don’t have enough equity to do any home improvements whatsoever, even though our kitchen is literally falling apart and we had hoped to be able to put on a 4th bedroom now we are pregnant again. So frustrating. And then mil very helpfully chimes in with “we got such a good deal online, you might be able to” (their house more than doubled in value in the space of 18 months without them even doing anything to it...pure luck). We are in a totally different position.
Arghhh! I know I’m being spoilt. Just need my house back and for me and dh to have some time alone to get our heads around what’s happening.
