How can I get my in-laws to understand that I’m overjoyed to be having a girl?
I’m a woman in my late 20s who’s been close friends with “Jessica” since middle school. She’d been somewhat ambivalent about having kids until she began dating her now husband. I think her shift to confidently wanting kids makes sense and they’d make great parents! However, a recent conversation with her left me feeling uncertain. In talking about their plans to start trying soon, she shared that child care is too expensive, so her in-laws and her parents will “just have to watch our kids.
I am close friends with a woman who gave birth to her first child one week before I did. With our children being so close in age, we have had many play dates. She has since had another child. Lately, our play dates cause me more and more stress. Her house is not childproofed, there are wire figurines that my son likes to grab and play with, she keeps the basement door open for the dogs to go up and down, and she doesn’t keep the medicine locked up.
