So true. You seldom hear about couples who've been together "trying" to have a baby anymore. It's becoming more and more common that parents and siblings meet their family member's partner until pregnancy come up. You have to admit that a bit shocking to the family if they had never heard about the person who's bringing an addition into the family, especially if its lobbed into their laps like a grenade.
first of all, you are assuming that my family is right down the street and I am just advoiding them
I live in California and tey live in arkansas.
I dont' talk to my family. We've been through some **** and my life is better when they are not in it. I've told my GF that at least 20 times, but she insisted that they should know, because it's the "right thing to do", but no one cares to stop and realize that I've been dealing with my family for almost 25 years now, I know them, and there is a very valid reason I dont' want to talk to them, and she saw for herslef when she left red lobster sobbing.
If it were up to me, **** em.. I wouldn' thave told them. Because nothing I ever do is positive to them, or good. When I make some money, they have their hands out, go get more people to get their hands out utnil I say no then they ***** me out and throw the whole "woe is me" party on me. when I was broke, it was "you suck you *******, you need to be like your younger couson who is in the army with 3 kids"
So why bother? Not one ****ing time in my life has anyone there been there for me, not ONCE, and I'm sick and ****ing tired of having pepole that come from these picture perfect families that actually gvie 2 ****s trying to tell me that I'm a trtoubled soul.
Hell, given what I've been though I think I'm pretty freakin normal. I just don't talk to them. out of sight out of mind.
No one called me and apologied ofr making my GF cry. no one apologied to her. yet i'm wrong. I'm sick of tem and my decision is made, they can all, every last one of tem, can kiss my black ass
