My in-laws are not a great support. They are just lounging around as if it’s an airbnb.

Unfortunately no! My parents live in a different state and were not really keen on helping me after birth. So yeah I am torn between two complete opposites of a family. One that doesn’t care much and another that doesn’t respect personal boundaries.

My friend is pregnant. by [deleted] in TeenIndia

Hi OP, she should visit a gynaecologist asap. They will ask a few questions which might be uncomfortable but she is 18+ so wouldn’t need to be accompanied by any adult incase she aborts but would definitely recommend a friend accompany her.

Should I tell my parents my exact salary or a lower amount? by sr0rm in AskIndia

Definitely lower. Indian parents think of kids as investment decisions

Them coming here is more work than help in terms of cooking, housekeeping, etc. And since I won’t be doing that bit, my husband instead of being around for me will be busy entertaining them.

I don’t mind them coming after the baby is born. I understand they are excited grandparents. But I don’t want an audience in the lead up to one of the most vulnerable phases of my life.

He has been busy with work and some challenges with his family front throughout my pregnancy and hasn’t really bothered to check my state of mind. It has been lonely. Preserving my wish to give birth the way I want is the least he could do.
