[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh good gosh! Your mom wanted a granddaughter. She is human, and your struggles are yours, this is exactly why older people can't put up with their adult kids. Stop the drama. How many times you hurt her feelings in all your years? I bet you a million. She can have any ideas in her head, how are you going to control her head? There comes a time when grown up children are supposed to mature and realize that their parents are older and not their ultimate cheer leader, they are just people like yourself.[/quote]

strongly suspect you have not struggled with infertility.[/quote]
I have and it doesn't give you the right to demand that the whole world revolve around you.[/quote]

+1. I also struggled with infertility, and it sucked. But I also recognized that most people don’t realize the inner turmoil you go through for years and aren’t being intentionally mean about their comments. Was the mom’s reaction insensitive? Absolutely. I agree she probably really wants a granddaughter, knows her other daughter is done, and thought maybe she was getting one now. Maybe she assumed OP really wanted a girl too, I don’t know. She let her disappointment show and unfortunately made it worse with the comment she blurted out, OP should tell her it hurt her feelings and let it go. Chances are the mom will realize her mistake and become a cheerleader, and will of course love the baby when it’s here. She made a mistake.[/quote]
