My family and my husbands family has never met each other yet. But, my dad and his mom are coming down and a few other members of the family next month to witness the birth of their grandchild. So it's going to be the first time meeting each other. I'm scared that they won't like each other and they will make it miserable for me before the baby gets here. I just want them to like each other. I mean my husband thinks things will be fine because my dad and his mom are great people. But I'm just worried.
Then my husband has a 5 year old son that lives with my husbands mom and he's coming down to. I'm just worried that he's going to hate his little sister because she'll be staying with daddy and he won't be.
How do I put this worry behind me? Help me please.

It's not that he can't take care of his 5 year old son. My husband and I are both in the military and he's from New York and so is the babies mother so the mother has custody of the child with my husbands mother. We are working on getting custody of his 5 year old but it's not that easy. So don't judge my husband because he don't have his son because you don't know the situation.

Stop worry, you're pregnant!!! Things will be fine!!!! Concentrate on the joy of bringing a child into this world, and remember the birth is also bringing 2 families together. No family ever gets along all the time but the good times will always out weigh the bad. Just give it a chance before conjuring up all sorts of troubles that may never happen!! Congratulations on your baby and happiness to the newly joined family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why worry now? You haven't anything conclusive here that makes you think they'll hate one another other than speculation.
Quit worrying about nonsense that you have no control over, let alone don't even know about at this juncture.
Finally...if they don't care for one another so what? Its you and hubby's life and opinions that matter. If the inlaws hate one another make it a point to avoid having functions that put them together in the same room. If it's a function where this is unavoidable, tough for them. Lets see if they can conduct themselves like adults should.
As far as the 5 year old goes.....they have no business having an opinion. They aren't of a consentual age and therefore not qualified to make decisions or have any dislikes other than brussel sprouts and going to bed early. Other than that you're wasting your time worrying about the mindset of a five year old. Its apparent you have much more impostant things on your plate.
Good luck. Hope the kid is healthy and has a long and enjoyable life.

If you all are bringing a new baby into this world, why can't he keep up with his first priority, his 5 year old son?
I won't worry, just feel real guilty.

You're making yourself worry. Unless they have mental problems, they're adults, thus they'll behave like adults. Don't make something out of nothing.

JUST CHILL OUT. IF THEY DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER THEN SO BE IT. WHAT MATTERS IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR HUBBY AND CHILD.
