My husband and I are in our mid 20's. We have been together for 5 years and married for 2. We finished college, bought a house and have careers that we are very happy with.
I am 7 weeks pregnant with our first child, we planned this baby and we are so happy to be starting out family.
We announced my pregnancy at Christmas to my parents. My father seemed happy about our baby news, but my mother just said, "Oh, congratulations." and was not happy nor excited to find out we are expecting her first grandchild.
My mother is very controlling, she told me when I should marry (at 28), when I should have children (after 30) and so on. She was pissed I married when we wanted and she is pissed I got pregnant when we wanted.
How to deal with controlling mother who is unhappy I am pregnant? She is never happy with any of the great decisions I have made! Since I didn't follow the life schedule she set for me, she is going to be bitter about my baby.
Any advice?
