Given the history with your mom (and believe me, I share a similar difficult relationship with mine (but for different reasons) with my mom knowing just how to push my buttons, never being unconditionally supportive of anything (even though she thinks she is), and always making my big events about her) you should revel in your news before having to contend with her response to it, no matter what that is.<br />Good luck...many of us will be waiting :)It is what it ishttp://itiswhatitisorisit.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-44310245411435990432010-02-21T19:50:04.131-08:002010-02-21T19:50:04.131-08:00Jen is brilliant.

I think it's big of you to call her, and I really hope for both your sakes that she doesn't blow her chance.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964875388384777306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-57475163128017754012010-02-21T18:18:43.774-08:002010-02-21T18:18:43.774-08:00I don't know if this will help or not, but I h...I don't know if this will help or not, but I have a similar situation with my father. He is in and out of my life and Husband can't stand him. We have made the decision (with my father and his parents) that no matter what, we won't try to influence or do anything to block their relationship with their grandkids. It's not our place. It's the most difficult thing in the world sometimes, but you do it b/c it's the right thing to do. You do it b/c, as you said, she's your mother. You do it b/c that thought jumps into your head, "would I want my daughter to do this to me?" Or maybe that just happens to me and you can ignore this entire comment! Good luck tomorrow no matter what!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14048243639634834643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-57813756525812459562010-02-21T18:03:04.544-08:002010-02-21T18:03:04.544-08:00Thinking of you sweetie.

I think people often have beliefs on how things will be (for instance I dreaded having a girl and now I happy I'm not having a boy with this one) and when something is thrown in to throw off the plans they made they don't react properly. But she's experienced that once and seems to realize how wrong those feelings were before.<br /><br />You know I say don't get your hopes up. Call her but if she reacts badly just remember that it's not a surprise.PamalaLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357664965020460429noreply@blogger.com
