Sit down with your husband and talk things through. Your mother in law should not be controlling your life or anyone for that matter. You are in control of your own life. You deserve to have a career as well. Good luck.

There is nothing wrong with staying home with you children when they are young and there is nothing wrong with working when they are young either. Going back to work after my daughter was born was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but I didn't go to college for five years to stay at home either.

If you want to work you should; staying at home when you don't want to would not be good for you or your children. And it has nothing to do with not wanting to be with them. I miss my daughter every day.

My Mother-in-law is the same way. She used to do daycare for my daughter until we got into it one day. She would never listen to me and always underminded me. Since then I have found new daycare and everyone is much happier. I wish I would have stood up to her sooner, but better late than then never. Try talking to your husband, but that didn't really work for me. Then if you ahve to take matters into your own hand, so be it.

Good luck.

You really need to talk to them and let them know how you feel. That just isn't right. No one should try to control any aspet of your life. I hope things get better for you. Good luck!

Wow...
You are not a steriotype(sorry if I spelled that wrong). I would be divorcing that SOB faster than you could say monkey if I were you. It sounds like you are being presured into something you may not want to do. His mum sounds like a real charm to... wow, " I want grandkids and soon." that is horrible. She doesn't care about how you feel or anything. I know this is totally wrong and I am agenst this unless given right cercumstanses (sorry if that is wrong to), but...abortion. Children are supposed to be made out of love, not out of presure. Or, better yet, don't have an abortion. Put the child up for adoption, That'll show em'JKJKJKJK (just kidding) Yah tell your husband about how you feel, and if he realy loved you and you were not just his se* toy, he would understand. Tell your parents to, maybie even move out of the house if you get an answer from your husband that goes something like this,"Screw you" His mother, if she gets mad at you, tell her to go some place ( I have the perfect place in mind)I to am pregnant, but I am not in the same boat as you are (sorry ). You also said that you are a little to young to be pregnant, how old are you? any way, I am glad i could be of servise.

Your friend from Alaska (aka the middle of nowere),

Hi, Re: Your Emergency

Oh my dear,

If ever there was a list titled 'Red Flag Alert' this would be the first of several on it . . .

You refer to yourself as "A Suburban Trophy Wife"! Why? Is your husband much older than you, was he previously married?

His parents bought you a huge house in the suburbs.
This always brings a sense of beholding no matter how the gift was given and received.

His mother wants grandchildren . . .
Well, that's no surprise, most mothers with married children would like grandchildren.

You listen to your parents. He listens to his parents. Hmmm! Sounds like a normal thing.
Try listening to each other as well. The important thing is to listen to them but talk to each other and set out goals that you both want.

In response to such comments from her, you might have said, "Oh, I would love to have a child! Just not yet, but know that we do plan on having children so just be patient. I want to be the best mother that I can be but, at 20, my timing might be different than you might want it be. We've talked about it and it's one of our dreams to someday have a child."

Don't have just your husband say what you want to his mother . . . say it together. It's never good to argue via go-betweens. No family is perfect . . . not yours, not his.
Adam and Eve had the first dysfunctional family and it's been passed down each generation ever since!

Now that you made the choice to have a child and are feeling trapped (for want of a better word) you feel resentful. Pregnancy is never easy, your hormones are on a roller coaster, you can feel awful one minute and great the next.
There are no instant answers to change your feelings. Try writing a daily diary and perhaps by doing that you will come to an acceptance of your situation and the choices you made that brought you there.
I pray that once 'Your Little Cherub' is placed in your arms you will have a heart filled with love and joy.

Best of luck . . .
Nonny
From been there done that and learned a lot in the process!

PS By any chance, did your mother-in-law want you to quit working because you were working near chemicals at the Newspaper?
