Just Frustrated
So my Mom is trying to figure out a way to tell the rest of our family that there will be another bundle of joy soon. I told her I didn't care when she told them, but she insisted on waiting. I guess I kind of understand wanting to wait until I've been to the doctor an found out a date and all that. She said she was going to write an email to everyone, I thought that was fine. She wrote one out and sent it to me to see what I thought. Well, I thought it was kind of mean. The way she worded it just made it seem like it was the worst thing in the world and that we should be completely ashamed. That's just the way it sounded to me. She told me to rewrite it how I saw fit and send it to her. I did. I didn't really change much I just worded it differently, in a way that wasn't so...harsh, that didn't make it seem like the world was coming to an end. She didn't see the difference. I also thought that it kind of sounded like they should almost feel sorry for them. I'm sorry, but I think Jon and I are the ones going through this. Yes, you been considerate and understanding about it but in your sly little ways you kind of make me feel like shit about it. It's hard enough without getting that vibe from my family. So now I think she's mad at me. She told me to write something and send it myself since 'its about me'. Well, yea Mom, it is about me. I don't plan on asking you for anything and if I do you can turn me down. I know its hard for you but I think it's probably going to be harder for us. Do you think I wanted this? Do you think I want my child's life to start off with assistance from the government? Do you think I want to be an unemployed mother with an unemployed boyfriend? Don't you think I wanted to have it all figured out before I even thought about bringing a kid into the world? Shit happens, and not always the way we'd hoped. But I promise myself and I promise this child that I will do everything I can to make its life as great as you made mine.
