MummyTwo... I know exactly what you are going through. Except it is my own mother.
My mum said to me a few days ago "I will love the baby, despite what you're doing" (i.e. two mum family).
My mum can't stand Shel, she thinks I am being a surrogate for her and the Shel is going to up and steal the baby from under my nose. She also thinks Shel is going to try and cut her out of our childs life, or try and take her 'grandparents rights' away from her. Luckily your fathers wife isn't threatening to take you to court for custody once the child is born.
Sorry... hijacked your post for a sec...
I am not going to say "just wait for the baby to come, she'll love her" because I know it doesn't help (can't even count how many times I've been told that!) and not only that, it isn't even the issue. I wish people were more openminded, more respectful, less judgemental towards people who are different... unfortunately they aren't. And when you encounter someone with ideas like this, its hard to know what to do or even if you should do anything.
I'm sorry I can't be of any help, but feel free to email me allie0986@hotmail.com or add me to msn or whatever, I can definately relate to what your are saying. :hugs:
I hope your partner is dealing with this... I worry about Shel and how she is dealing with it. I feel so sad, that the happiest time in our life is marred by such ignorance. And when we should be both glowing with antipiation, Shel just feels insignificant and left out by my mum.
