[quote=Anonymous]Is it early? My ILs thought it was bad luck that we were telling people (even though it was just family) before 20 weeks, so they were happy for us but concerned. That was kind of cultural though, so I could keep it in context and not take it personally. If that's not it, then I'd just follow your husband's lead on how he wants to deal with it. My own sister had a weird, non-reaction when I had my first, but has since really warmed up and actually is the most engaged of the uncles & aunts. Some people have their own issues re pregnancy & babies, so give it time and let them come back to you with expressions of interest/excitement. If they don't, then I'd follow their lead and only give them as much information as they seem interested in. It's disappointing for sure, but ultimately they loose more than anyone if they opt out of grandparenting. [/quote]
