[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, op! It’s just small talk. People can say “I wish I knew” or “I was glad to know” without you thinking they are judging your choices. They are not miffed. Just roll with it. You are acting like you are doing something so different and worth comment. You’re not. More people have done it your way than not. And nobody really cares that much about your baby. [/quote]

Someone always says this and maybe that’s true for you that your mil or close friends are just making small talk and don’t actually care about your baby but in my family and my circle of friends that is not the case. Certainly no one cares as much as the expectant parents do, I’ll give you that, but there are definitely people who do care about the baby and actually do have strong opinions about seemingly silly things like whether you find out baby’s sex beforehand or not. It’s probably not because they truly care if it’s a boy or a girl but because they don’t like that you’re choosing not to find out because it’s a different choice than they would make. Stop assuming just because you don’t care about your family members’ or friends’ choices on this matter means that no one else’s MIL or friends care. It sounds like the OPs family and friends are genuinely miffed. [/quote]
