So basically mine and my mums relationship has been rocky lately as she doesn't like my hubby and I don't like her boyfriend. (Although I have a reason as he threatened her with a knife while drunk and she called the police! Then took him back!!!) So basically I've told her that my
2 year old won't be going to her house while he is there and he isn't welcome here!
But, I told her today that I'm pregnant. And her reaction was awful! She started ranting on and on about my weight (I am about 18 stone) and how the baby is going to suffer etc etc. and about how my OH is useless (he's not, just a typical man) and how dare I tell other people before her etc etc etc! Not one word of happiness that she was having another grandchild or anything! I deliberately put off telling her as I knew her reaction would be bad.
Her bf has a massive influence over her and her way of thinking and speaking. She's a completely different person since she met him 2 years ago. I know when he's had his input on something by the way she talks.
All I wanted was for my mum to be happy for me I know my weight is an issue, and I did want to lose weight before we had another baby but the time was just right. I've got help to do so now anyway. I'm just sad as I feel like I've completely lost my mum.
