Morning everyone , I’ve been up all night worrying and chewing and apologies in advance for the essay !
Would be grateful for any advice. I have a 1 & half year old DD and I am expecting our second baby a DS (So excited and lucky!)
I was the product of a one night stand between my mum and dad and they never ever got on through out my childhood all I can remember was arguments between them . My father married and had my younger sister, she was taken on holidays , bought the best clothes etc . We’re as I’ve never had any of that I know I may sound jealous but just trying to explain the situation better !
I was lucky to see my father once/twice a month.
So my father and his family have never liked or approved of OH. To the point where they were trying to convince me to terminate both my children. My father had only just started spending time with DD the last few months and I have to say he is a amazing grandad much better then he was a father !.
However my younger sister has just announced shes 5 weeks pregnant with a guy she’s been sleeping with from work. Now the family are jumping for joy. Messages of congratulations , my dad saying congrats on your news I love you . And I didn’t get spoke to for weeks :(
I suppose I’m scared of my children being pushed aside for her new baby. Because of what I experienced when I was a child and with announcing my own pregnancies.
my DD has only began to build a bond with her grandad. Am I allowed to feel like this or is it my hormones ?
I am thinking of TRYING to have a chat with my father but he’s not the most communicative person in the world
