My parents SO upset!

[Ajojo620]

Background: I am 33 and married to a wonderful man. I lost my job in November and have been freelancing since while still looking for full-time work.
Fast forward to just a couple days ago when I found out I was pregnant (for the first time might I add). I have been wanting this for years and when I tell my mom, I don’t get excitement or happiness but chastisement because we had to borrow money from them for rent last month. They are now holding that over our heads and disappointed because I don’t have a full-time job yet. Even though I am a top candidate for one job I’ve applied for and my husband is working full-time as well.
They are telling me to “grow up and stop being so emotional!” I’m pregnant and a whole basket full of emotions. I understand their concerns but feel so hurt!!!


What are your thoughts or encouragement?

I'm so sorry you are going through this. When my husband and I found out we were pregnant with our miracle baby (I was told by 3 doctors I couldn't have children) I just lost my job. My husband was working full time. My in-laws found out and were upset. I understand that feeling and it sucks. I hope they realize how hard you both are working to make a good life for that baby. Fingers crossed for that job I'll be sending positive thoughts your way!

I don’t really know what to advise but didn’t want to read and run. I hope you find a way to sort things out, it must be awful for you xxx
