My name is Gemma and I am 30 weeks pregnant with with a baby boy.
I'm so happy and me and my husband can't wait to welcome the new baby into this world and our family... But, our daughter is determined to ruin it for us.
I should be more understanding, but I am really struggling.
I am 33 years old and our daughter is 16, so I knew that it would be a surprise to her when we sat her down and told her, and that it would take a while for her to get used to the idea that she would no longer be an only child and that her mum was having another baby.
But I didn't expect to get to 30 weeks and for her to STILL be behaving like this is the worst thing to happen in her life. The reality is, her body is now at a stage where she herself could get pregnant, so why is it so horrific that her mother is pregnant? I just don't understand why she is continuing to rebel so much and cannot be pleased for us and look forward to meeting her brother.
Once this baby is born he will come first, which is why I'm spending all my time right now trying to talk Aimee (our daughter) round and get her used to it, but she will not talk to me or get involved at all.
Is there something wrong with her? Am I doing something wrong? Her father and I are married, we have given her everything she wanted and never put her through any trouble or strife. There is no reason for her to behave like a spoiled brat now.
Sorry for ranting, I am just so angry that I cannot be happy that I'm about to become a mum again because the daughter I raised and love so much will not be happy for me.
Anyway, the bottom line is that regardless of our family problems, I'll be having a baby in a couple of months and am glad to have found this forum.
I hope to get to know some people and find this a useful and friendly place to socialise.
