[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]

AMEN TO INFINITY!

You're pregnant, so be grateful and stop whining [/quote]

Strange to have such a strong reaction blaming the OP, who hasn't even said anything hurtful to her mom.  Why wouldn't you tell grandma, "Your daughter's pregnant, so be grateful and stop whining"?[/quote]
I am first pp in quoted above. My issue is that OP was so hurt she had to post this. Should her mom just say, congrats? Yes, but her mom is human. My point was that it seems that there is no age when adult children accept their parents as regular flawed human beings and not their cheerleaders. Tearing down your parents has become the norm, how does that make adult children any more mature? Adult children shrug off their parents behavior, once they are mature to accept them as flawed human beings, and not perfect moms.This is regular daily faux pas, her mom didn't beat her. Nobody can live up to the expectations of that perfection in today's cheer-leading culture. Her mom probably regrets saying this by now, and OP is dwelling in it. Not the end of the world, older people have fewer filters, some are better at not blurting out hurtful things, but majority are not. We are all going to be old, we are all going to say stupid stuff, accept it and shrug it off. Not WWII.[/quote]
