Ladies please tell me if I am being crazy and selfish. My fiances brothers gf just had her baby yesterday morning and I just can't get myself to feel happy for them. Mainly because they don't seem to care themselves, he was an 'accident' and they're not prepared at all they don't even have a crib they have a tiny bassinet that he's going to grow out in months and they constantly complain about money. He was born at 9:30 am and by 12 he was calling us to go to the gun range...why would you not be with your newborn son?! Fiance asked if I wanted to go visit and I said no, I don't think I could pull it off I think I will break down in tears. When we got the news fiance was like 'we're next!' and all I could say was 'yeah we'll see how long that takes'. I really did not think this was going to affect me so much but it is! I feel like once I get pregnant I won't be 'hating so hard' I guess but who knows how long that'll take. Feeling really bummed and I'm not sure if im being ridiculous :/
there was a thread yesterday where a girl asked a similar question. Said she was feeling jealous over other people's pregnancy.
This was my response: I think it's natural to have these feelings arise, it hits home. but you can't let them over take you. Jealously and envy are not good! Know everyone has their time! what's for you is yours. Get rid of those feelings, fast. You wouldn't want someone to be jealous of you.
Now Destiny, one would hope your feeling are surfacing more from your desires, other than hatred. And more so jealously than envy. Although neither are positive........ My advice is to handle your feelings before you go over there! You also never know what someone is going thru nor why they handle themselves certain ways. What you think is appropriate may not be for others. Not sure what your relationship is what the mom, but your visit may be comforting to her? Regardless try to be happy for new life. Know and believe that your day is coming when its suppose too. IM not disregarding your feelings, because I understand. But at the same time you need to reflect on them, and dismiss them. Its not healthy or just.
