To think I don't need to plan my family around BIL's?!

DS has just turned 2. I am pregnant again with DC2 due in May. BIL and SIL are due with their first baby in Jan.

DH has just got back from seeing them today, DS and I were going to go to but DS has chickenpox. DH told me that him and BIL argued a little because they were/ are still a bit put out that I got pregnant again quite quickly after they announced SIL was pregnant.

We were actually already ttc for DC2 when they announced their pregnancy. I was certainly not going to just stop ttc just because they announced they were having a baby. I actually made a comment about how nice it will be that the babies/cousins a few weeks ago. It never occurred to me that it would be a problem or they would feel this way. But apparently they waited until our DS was 1 before they started ttc!

So were we BU??

What a couple of idiots! It will be great for the cousins to be so close in age especially if they attend the same school.

When I had DD, my aunt - who has chosen to be childfree - wrote me a VERY long letter about how inappropriate it was for me to have had a child before ‘her generation had finished’ because she was still (at 54!) not sure whether she wanted a baby or not and that I should have terminated, ie I shouldn’t have started making great grandchildren until there were definitely no more grandchildren to come. This letter was in the new baby card she sent!

@ubbesponytail that's horrible!!

She would hate my family. My aunt has children older than my youngest uncle (gran was pregnant when her daughter was) and there are grand children younger than a great great grandchild
