So the OH's parents decided it was about time to invite me for dinner!
I'm absolutley terrified!!
The last time i met his parents they were telling me i need to have an abortion and that i'm going to give the baby mental problems (they had never met me...!!) and it was a horrible day! Im really scared! It's just going to be so formal, just us 4 sitting down to eat! I know it sounds silly to most of you, but i've also got a speech block which gets 100000000000 times worse when im nervous and its so embarrasing!! So i'm not even going to be able to speak properly!!
I wouldnt mind so much if they could wait a few weeks till bubbas here, cos it kinda takes the focus off me a little bit. Everyone can fuss over him and i know i'll be able to talk fine because i'll be so proud!!

Am i being really selfish? Im just terrified! Hopefully bubba decides to make an apperance tonight!!

PLEASE!

aww hun thats horrible! Do you have any idea why they said such horrible things?
Your not being selfish at all hun. Try not to worry so much!(i know thats easier said then done!) i sort of know how you feel i havent even met the ohs parents due to distance (theyre in newcastle im like a hundred and something miles away)
And ive already been informed by his aunt (whom i have also never met) that she hates me! So thatl be a fun dinner when i do go up there!
Anyway i just wanted to say good luck and try not to worry as bubba will sense it and probably start worrying too!
 
right 1stly hun. I know im not quit a teen but not far off im only 20. Me and DH got married when I was 18 after 3.5 years.
His mum didnt talk to me until the day we got married. Still isnt keen.
She dosent even know we are preggers yet. She is due over for a visit the end of october and will be told then.
I tottaly understand how you feel hun.
 
ive been with oh over a year and havent met the parents and it seems the longer its left the more nervous i get!
 
Gosh girl, Im so sorry that OH's parents are such A-holes!! If they invited you over for dinner, they probably have gotten over their meanness and want to make peace with you. They are your baby's grandparents...and Im sure they want to see the baby as much as possible. I know its hard to think this way, but I'd go there with an open mind...Good Luck girl!!
 
They said some nasty stuff to you, no wonder your nervous! I really think they should have invited you over way before now. Your quite near giving birth and opinions and sorrys should have been said already.

Good luck, hope it goes well :) xxx
 
Gosh, what a bunch of b$*^£*&" !

Your not being selfish at all hun i can totally understand why you are feeling like that, they havn't exactly made you feel welcome and wanted ! Im sure everything will be ok, it's one of those things that i guess have to be done however much we don't want too !

good luck x
 
i can totally understand why your feeling nervous!!! that must be so difficult for you. i kinda understand too but in my situation its my parents that are awful to my OH. parents ey...
hope it all goes well! good luck :) xxxxxx
 
aww good luck hun, i know how u feel, my babys dads parents havent exactly been the nicest to me since i got pregnant so have basically stopped going up there

at least they are trying to make the effort now babe, well it looks like it anyway, give them another chance and if they fuck u about again at least u have reason to jib em off eh

good luck babe

:hugs:

good luck and dont worry im sure it will work out
 
That sounds rough. It does sound like they are trying to make a bad situation better. Hopefully it all goes well.
 
I've been lucky enough to get on with all my partners parents(past and Present)

My best advice to you is to go with an open mind and relax - this is a good opportunity for them to get to know you a little better before you officially are the mother to the next generation of their/your family.

If you get uncomfortable with any of the conversation then politely change the subject, i'm sure with your due date approaching they will be keen to make amends - with the added benefit is a mutual topic of discussion.
:hug:
 
I hope everything goes well! :hugs:

In laws are pretty rough,especially yours seeing how they behaved towards you :growlmad:
However most of them do figure out in the end that you're a mother of their grandchild and they ought to treat you with respect!
