Fed up of being pitied because parents live far away…
Is anyone else feeling this way? I live a 5 hour drive away from my family and have done for the last 14 years.
Baby girl is due next week, my husband and I are of course really excited. However I’m starting to get fed up of people asking how we will cope without having nearby family etc. I’m off for a year and my husband has 6 months paternity leave. I know of course it will be harder and would love to be closer to my family, but this is the way it is. I just want to scream that we will be okay!
A couple of friends from my home city offered to come and help as soon as baby is born which is so so lovely of them - but honestly I don’t think we’ll want visitors that soon and feel like we’ll manage just fine. Not sure if it’s the pregnancy hormones that are making me overly sensitive but others are making me feel like we won’t be able to cope…..
