Did your baby’s fathers family help and contribute during your pregnancy, baby shower, etc?
Published by admin on April 30, 2011I am 5 months pregnant and husband is in the military away from me the entire pregnancy so far. His parents have not offered to help me out at all so far with the baby shower, or when I was horribly sick for the first 4 months alone with nobody but parents for help. It gets me mad sometimes how they seem to just assume my side of the family will take care of it all. I was just wondering if other mothers got help from the fathers side during their pregnancy?
Yeah…my fiance’s aunt (his parents passed away 5 years ago), younger sister, older brother and his wife were all around and attentive throughout my pregnancy. They wanted to be there and experience it all with me. The women through a baby shower for me…his brother (being a father of 3 already) was constantly running while i was on bed rest for the last 3 months and my fiance wasn’t available; whenever i needed something, he was chomping at the bit to do it.
Granted, i think they all felt bad and were overcompensating due to the fact that none of my family wanted anything to do with me or our son. No one in my family visited or called during my pregnancy…my mother didn’t even see our son until he was 5 months old. And we all live in the same town.
No. My family did everything. They gave his new wife a shower though.

No. My husband and I were adults and could manage on our own quite well. Plus, my father-in-law was dying of cancer, so there were much more important things to worry about.
