[quote=Anonymous] You've gotten good advice here. Try not to upset yourself. Allow for the fact that hormones may be intensifying your feelings of protectiveness and claim on this baby. It's okay. Hopefully they'll show up and participate in DC's life. You can get them to tone down the "my baby" thing later. I had the perspective that children join a community when born and passed mine around liberally. My mom's insistence on referring to DC1 as "her baby" annoyed the shit out of me, but having her around to cuddle him and take joy in his existence helped to balance things out. It's YOUR baby and the world knows it. Allowing your family members to celebrate the baby's anticipated arrival with all of this big talk is really okay. It doesn't reduce your tie to DC one iota. Humor now, boundaries later (if need be). [/quote]
