So ladies, I'm not quite sure how many of you know anything about me - but I'll post a little bit of my background.
I'm a "young" mom by some people's standards. I'm 22, I don't have a career, and I'm not finished with school yet. This pregnancy wasn't planned, and at first - I had no idea what I was going to do. My parents aren't exactly the type who would disown me, but they definitely weren't happy about it for awhile. To be truthful, my dad still isn't. My mom's over the moon that she's going to be a grandma, even if I am young, not married - anything. I could honestly care less about my dad, as he's the type that I could go to Yale, and he'd tell me I should've chosen Harvard blahblahblah. He was never really around when we were younger, because he was always out messing around on my mom, and never really wanted to be part of our lives - he'd just spend his money to make up for it.
Now on to the real thing that's bumming me out. I am the younger sibling. I have an older sister who's 26, no kids, not married - nothing. I don't even know if she wants to have kids, as she was always telling me she doesn't think she could handle being pregnant and all the weird things that go along with it. Well, when I told her I was pregnant - she couldn't really say much. She wasn't excited, but she wasn't mad. I can't really explain her reaction. It doesn't help that her & OH don't get along AT ALL. Now that I'm almost in my third tri-mester, I decided to bring it up to her tonight, and she said that it's not that she's not excited, it's just weird to think of her little sister being pregnant. Okay, I can understand that. She's also planning on moving to Chicago, so she admitted to me she's distancing herself from me and her niece. We're usually EXTREMELY close - but since finiding out I was pregnant, I can count on one hand how many times we've actually made plans. She also told me everyone is telling her she's kind of being an ass about it - but she doesn't "know what to do about it." I'm just so bummed that it seems she doesn't want to be in her niece's life, or be around since I'm pregnant.
Sorry it was sort of a long rant, but I have no one else to talk to. OH doesn't like talking about my sister because he literally - cannot stand her. My mom's told me that I'm worrying too much, and that my sister is excited...I just don't know. It's frustrating.
