Just a rant and feeling very upset.

Just fed up at the moment sick of my family but I don't know why as it's always the same, they don't care about anyone except themselves.

I'm 29weeks pregnant with DC4 its been half term this week and I have a severe kidney infection spent 24hrs in hospital and 2 days on bed rest finally feeling a bit better but still a while to go till I'm 100% I also have to have additional scans in bump as its not growing and I'm measuring 7 weeks behind my dates.

I'm fed up because not a single member of my family has even asked how the baby or I are doing.
I text my mum when in hospital as I had to cancel her visit and I got back was "ok hun goodnight", I phoned my stepdad about somethings and all he said when I mentioned it was oh I saw that on facebook, and nothing at all from my sister.

I know they have their own lives and I don't want to appear attention seeking but surely a call or text to see how we are wouldn't take 5 mins of their time?

My sister has had a lovely child free week so no reason she couldn't have bothered.

Just ranting really just fed up but know I shouldn't expect anything from them as I had a bad bleed with DD3 at 13 weeks and all I got then was oh well these things happen from my mum.

I am lucky that I have DP and EXH to help otherwise I would be screwed as no one would offer to help otherwise.

Ah the joys of having a toxic family,sorry for the rant just needed to get it off my chest.

Nothing to add about your family but poor you, hope you get better soon xxx

sorry for you - my family are not the most supportive either but yours are on a whole different level... stay strong just knowing that you do the right things for your family - at least then you know you are not on their level....

Aw, it sounds like you've been through a tough time. Hope you are taking it easy and everything is okay with your baby.
The good news is that your DP and ExH are being supportive. I'm sorry that your family are being twats though. You are right, it doesn't take much to give you call and say how are you? You are well within your rights to have a rant.
