I wish my pregnancy was as happy as I dreamed it to be. I wish my significant other would stand up to his family. I love him, and he loves me, but every single second is a battle. They loved us and supported us in our relationship and now that we are expecting, all the tables have been turned.

First off, congratulations on your pregnancy! That’s so exciting! I’m sorry to hear things aren’t going as you’d hope. Maybe they will all calm down the further along you get. It’s so frustrating when everyone isn’t on the same page and accept things for what they are.
I went through this with my husbands family with my first baby they were fine while I was pregnant but as soon as the baby got here they became overbearing. I am so sorry you are having to deal with that! I’m praying it gets better for you! My sister in law and Mother in law would deliberately not listen to my rules about the baby and acted like I didn’t know what I was doing when my entire life I have been around babies. ( I have 9 nieces and nephews and babysat for years)I had to supplement formula with my first and my SIL would always ask me if the bottle had breast milk or formula and try to make me feel bad about it. They wouldnt do it in front of my husband they would wait until he walked out of the room but they would stress me out so bad and finally my husband had enough and called them out on it. Things got better after he told them it didn’t matter as long as she was fed and that we were the parents and we know best for our baby. I finally learned to speak up for myself to them and haven’t had an issue since.
