Hi MummyTwo

Firstly congrats on your BFP, every child is a joy to celebrate. Your story really touched me as I went through a similar experience with my dad and his wife (my step mother). My dad was really happy for me and can't wait to meet the baby but his wife didn't even react when he told her, she just said thats nice and mentioned that she thought 'another' grandchild might be nice. she already has four grandchild through her two children. It really upset me but I have to be honest not for that long. You will soon see that your growing bump will draw only goodwill from others and I thick if you can give your dads wife time she will come around. And if she doesn't do you really want your child exposed to that sort of negative opinion?

Hang in there and enjoy your pregnancy. Surround yourself with those who share your joy and happiness. I wish the best for you and your bump. All the best.

Oh MummyTwo I am so sorry you had to listen to this. Sadly, there are many memebrs of the community who are stuck in their 'anal' ways of thinking as to what 'classifies' as family. Children need parent who will love, protect and nurture them, as a minimum! That family is no longer just mum, dad, and kids, Familys now come in so many different forms, two women, two men, one woman, one man, grandparents etc....I firmly believe that as long as that child is receiving those basic elements to grow and thrive in love and security, it doesnt matter who makes up the constitution of the parents. Hope that wasnt too confusing....i think i have juts confused myself!!! LOL
