So my husbands niece who's 19 has been doing some nannying for us to gain her childcare qualification. Finances are tough but we wanted to help her out. Anyways a few weeks back we discovered I was pregnant and this time, as it's our last baby, we wanted to keep it to ourselves until the 12 week scan.
This was shortly before we went on holiday and when we came home I started to notice odd baby related comments off my husbands family.
It turns out his niece first claims she found a positive pregnancy test, which is impossible as the test was done a day she didn't work and all packaging thrown in the main bin outside in a sealed black sack. The test itself is in my bedside drawer. So can only assume she snooped around. She then later claimed it was the packet, equally not true as disposed of at the same time on the day she didn't work.
Instead of respecting our privacy as her family and employer she thought it was her right to spread the news to all the family. Now everyone knows but they don't know that I know if that makes sense.
To say we're upset and cross with her is an understatement. Even though my husband is beyond angry with her he won't say anything though as he doesn't want to cause hassle.
I feel so let down by her lack of professionalism and care for our privacy. Even if I'd left a big sign saying 'I'm pregnant' it doesn't give her the right to do what she did.
She's taken away our secret and the joy of hopefully being able to share our good news. Plus her brother and sister are both due to have their babies this month so we did want to wait and let them have their moment.
She's lost all babysitting rights to our kids now.
I don't understand why she would do that especially when she knows the heartache we've gone through in previous pregnancies (one stillbirth and one miscarriage).
I can't even be in the same room as her now I'm so angry.
Am I totally overreacting due to my hormones???
Sorry for long waffle but thanks for reading xxx
