OH blabbermouth >:(

My OH told his mom tonight that we're TTC. I wouldn't mind but he didn't ask me if I minded, and I was under the impression that we weren't going to tell anyone. He's a lot more open with his parents than I am with mine, and he said that he's just excited which is nice to hear.

I'm just worried that because I'm only 20 (OH is 24) that people are going to judge and think I'm too young. From what he said she was ok with it, but she suggested we 'see the world' a bit more first and that we've got our whole lives to start a family. I understand her point of view and that may be true but we've got our whole lives for a lot of things and we aren't interested in travelling, we just want to start a family! And have done for a very long time. If we want to travel we can when the kids are grown up and have moved out. People act like when you have kids you can't do anything ever again, they do grow up and move out eventually you know.

Sorry for the rant, just feeling a bit negative at the moment for a number of reasons.

I understand how you feel. I told my mom we are TTC and at first she was really understanding and supportive. Now she says "don't tell me until you have a positive test". People will always judge no matter what age you are. My OH and I are both 24 and my grandmother still thinks we are "too young". I don't want to be 40 and just trying for my first kid sorry people!

Exactly my thoughts too - I always knew deep down that something was wrong so I'm glad I'm trying now and leaving myself a good several years to try and fix things. Even now I feel like time is running out for me and god knows why because I know women can still get PG in their forties+ for goodness sake! Don't know why I'm putting so much pressure on myself!
