My wife is PG again and I refuse to tell my mother or anyone else in my famliy that she is. I haven't even seen anyone other than my older brother sence Feb. They Didn't tell me where they live. I've been in the same place for 7 years so the way I see it if they wanted to know what was going on they would come and see us. So is it wrong for me not to tell them that my wife is PG?

I can understand where you are comming from if you family dosn't give to hoots as to what you are doing in your life or your families life including any kids, then that is their loss my family is the same I only hear from them when they want money or to boast about something they have brought.

I don't blame you. I understand your resentment for them not coming to see you or keeping the lines open. But you need to consider this, that child your wife is carrying belongs to a family. Whether you like it or not, your parents are that child's grandma and grandpa. Maybe just by telling your brother next time you see him will get the ball rolling and once your parents find out everything might come out in the wash. There's nothing better than having the whole family around when a child is born. It just might bring you guys back together and allow you to discuss some old feelings you might have about things.

Well, she is ur mom I think the right thing is to tell her. U really should be the bigger person. I really don't know anything of what they ever said or did to ya but put all that aside and spread the word. This is something good, another baby in the fam is a blessing. If they don't ever keep in touch then at least u tried. Look on the brighter side, ur gonna have another beautiful baby.

Take it from me family will always be a pain in the ummmm well you know but they are family and 2 wrongs don't make a right, Yes they should of told you where they live but you being the bigger person and showing them you are not like them maybe will help them pick up some good habits from you.
I say this because my parents have passed away and once they are gone you can't change what has happen..

Ok, first off, I don't get the not telling you where they live, did they move? Second, are you not speaking because of a rift or excuses, like too busy to call. Either way, I think I would be the bigger better person and let them know. God works in mysterious ways, you never know maybe this child is supposed to bring you all together.

That's between your wife and you, but I would suggest being the bigger person and telling them even though they don't visit you. Maybe you telling them will help bridge the gap between you. I would also consider telling them how you feel about the situation. One thing that is tough is if you live far away. It's hard to find the time to catch up when people live away from each other.

You could be the one in the family that keeps in touch with everybody. If your family members don't get along why keep in touch? The up coming birth could bring out the best side of your family members.
In short I don't know enough about your family to say one way or the other. SORRY I couldn't help much.

Well if you just don't know where they are no one can fault you for not telling them about your wife's PG however be mindful to not stoop to their level regarding their "Non-courtesy". I would say tell them but not to have too much expectations regarding their support if that's an issue. At least you can say it isn't you causing problems... I'm assuming that you do (when you know where they are) call and visit them regulary regardless of them visiting you.

You should really tell your mother. This is a serious matter. If she dosen't find this out in the next couple minutes she will go balistic! Call her or email her and tell her...and make it seem kind of like....Mom, I have to tell you something. This is very important so lsiten carefully. Like make it the biggest deal ever! Make sure you tell her! Good luck with the baby! Tell your wife i said good luck!<3

Don't tell them anything now - it could add unnecessary stress to what should be a peaceful time in your life. Mail birth announcements (if you have their addresses) once the baby is born. That way they know, but it isn't an overly intimate gesture.
