I'ma warn you now lol serious rant here..
I am sick to DEATH of them!!! I'm at college 20+hrs a week, work between 12 + 16hrs a week and they're STILL not happy with me :S wtf?! i thought it was MY family that should be on at me about stuff like this?
My mum thinks i shouldn't have a job yet as my college timetable is full + i'm in usually from 9am - 4:30pm. She understands that to get the grades i need for uni and to better myself etc then i'm actually gona have to work hard on my A levels at home as well as go to college, yet everytime i go to OH's (he lives at home) all i get is "you got another job yet?" and "when are you gettin a job and lettin Tom move out?" WTF how can i go to college, have 2 jobs AND see people i want to see? Yes it'll be extra money so my OH can move outa theres + move in with me sooner, but grrrrrrr it'd mean me droppin some lessons or somethin and i reaaaaally don't wanna do that! Also it'd strain mine and OH's relationship with not seeing each other much + us both being "tired" and "cba" all the time.
My OH feels the pressure too as he works full time, 5 days a week, and goes to college at nights for 3hrs for 2 nights a week. They would "ideally like" him to get a weekend/night job so that he can earn more (he's not on much atm as he's a trainee accountant and isn't qualified yet) gahhh they're a nightmare.
I know this is a bit far-fetched and not many of you will understand, but when i get pregnant i'm gona be SO tempted to not let his family see the baby much. They interfere so much + i can imagine them trying to bring the baby up as their own whenever i'm not there (as they do with OH's newborn cousin). His auntie gave birth a few weeks ago, and although she's agreed they can look after Freya (the baby) every now and again to give her a break, they still aren't satisfied and make remarks over everything she does! Bare in mind that the woman in question is about 30 and already has 3 kids so obviously knows what she is doing, and i can tell it annoys her too.
We all went to a christening at the weekend, my OH was holding the 3month old baby and allllll he heard from his Mum + Dad was "hold her properly, keep her head still, just give her here you can't hold her right" gahh wtf, it's ok for them to hold any of the babies how they want but when Tom does all he gets is screamed at so ends up puttin em down. I know that when we have children, no matter how old i am (as i know i'm very young now) they're gona say we aren't ready/wise enough/caring enough to bring a child up as we're children ourselves etc and "advise" me on evvvverything i do. I know this probably sounds silly but after looking after a doll for 2weeks that cried non-stop for childcare, i think i'm rather prepared tbh! I just wish they'd butt out.
Sorry for this being a long post, just GRRRR lol any suggestions or comments to deal with them pleasee? xx
