I'm 8 months pregnant. This morning I phoned my mum and and she was being really off with me, during conversation I told her I was getting practice contractions every now and again so she muttered "oh, why is it nearly due or summat" really off.

Anyway my step dads parents were there at the time, they have always dislikes me since my mum first got with him when I was 13 and I have always hated them.

My mum is never like this with me usually and I feel like she was doing it to make them think that she was on "their side". she's not a stranger to doing this but I'm a bit shocked thats he would do it over something so important to me am I being paranoid?

sounds odd alright

why would she pretend to be uninterested in her own daughter for her pil? what a strange way to behave

try not to let it worry you too much, if she is the type to do that she's not worjth stressing your baby over.

go and have some chocolate and put you feet up while you MN. we always care

She always does it, she puts me down to please other people too. For instance I phone her every day and recently my aunt was saying that her kids never phone her so my mum said "mine doesnt phone me either" , the stupidest thing is though she relayed this conversation to me as if there was nothing wrong with it and then added "you do phone me though don't you" and laughed. It's like she'll say anything to please people around her.

odd, my mom puts me down in front of everyone too and it's a horrible feeling

the best thing i find is just to try and detach emotionally.

it will get even harder to cope with when you have your babs and realise how much you love them and can't imagine ever behaving like that towards them IYKWIM

See this as another way you will be a better parent to your children than your own were to you. You have better things to worry about
