My dad seems to be in denial that I am pregnant!

I moved to the US with my husband after we got married last year and I am due any moment now with our first baby!

When I announced my pregnancy to my family 6 months ago, my dad's response was an incredulous 'No, I don't believe you. I won't believe it until the baby is born.' No congrats or anything like that and no more mentioning about it.

Since then, he has not mentioned once about the baby, or how I am feeling at all. Instead, he sends me daily texts and photos about his own life and sends me a bunch of YouTube videos everyday about coronavirus conspiracy theories etc. Never asks me how I am.

He even suggested that I fly back home next month (forgetting the fact that I will have just given birth and have a newborn). I said I can't, I will have a baby by then. He just said 'ok'.

Would this annoy you? It's like he is in denial that I am going to have a baby or forgotten about it.
