Maybe i’m a big sensitive but living at home my mum will occasionally ask when i’m having the next child as my son will be an only child.
She also is obsessed with thinking that i’ve recently had an abortion? ( I haven’t + I’ve never) as being on ML i’m skint and had to ask her for money to treat an infection privately as the local NHS was fobbing me off keeping me on antibiotics that wasn’t working. She doesn’t believe me and she said she’s very sad bc that could have been a sibling.. ( Also that I have bc her friend paid for a private abortion… Tried to explain that abortions are free here no need for private)
The funniest thing is, my mum has sort of admitted to me she only had me to fill a void as she thought since her prestigious career was over and no way of returning to it that her entire life is over so she should have a child aka me. She didn’t date anyone or really do anything with anyone until I was around 18. People persuaded her to start dating or just have another child even from a one night stand but she refused. She has said sometimes she probably should have considered one more child….
I just don’t like it and she’s the only one mentioning it, no one else at least so far.
Also I think it’s quite hypocritical, she didn’t really want kids, but she had me then refused to try to have another child but now wants me to? Idk maybe she doesn’t want me to regret and think like she has. I’m not that opposed to another child I just don’t want one right now… although i’m worried a bit waiting… I’m youngish but after birth have loads of new health problems… i’m scared i’ll have more& more serious if I “ wait too long “ but I can’t stomach the thought of being pregnant/having another child so soon. For now i’m quite happy as I am.
