We have 3 dcs. 2 from previous marriage and a 7 month old together. I recently found out, after thinking I was unwell, that surprise number 4 is on the way.
Not ideal but DH and I very happy. We are financially stable, have the room and want this baby.
Told mother today. She went BALLISTIC. Said my 3rd child will be overshadowed and not get a proper childhood. That we are irresponsible and stupid. That our "urges" are obviously more important to us than our children. That the planet is suffering because of people like us.
I couldnt get a word in. DH arrives amid tirade with elder children. My DH is laidback and quite quiet around mother usually but he flipped. Told her to get out of our house and not come back until she could apologise to me. She left.
DH apologised to kids and said he was cross because nanny was being silly and upsetting mummy. Everybody calmed down.
AIBU to think DH deserves a medal and mother should stew? She wouldn't apologise if hell froze over. I'm a 37 year old woman ffs. We had an accident but it's a happy one for us. Is it really any of her business?
