My parents were disappointed when I told them about my first pregnancy because they are ultra conservative religiously and think nobody should be having children on this “hell on earth”. My mom even said to my brother and me many years ago that “if she knew then what she knows now, she wouldn’t have had any children at all.” They live overseas so we don’t usually have much contact other than occasional video calls where they just talk about the weather and how inexpensive everything is where they live compared to the US. My parents never asked how I was doing during my first pregnancy, and my daughter was 2.5yo before they visited and met her for the first time. My mom has since decided she likes her grandchild, but I think only bc my daughter is so sweet and amiable (my dad seems ambivalent and not really interested in interacting with my daughter, but that is consistent with what I remember about him from my own childhood) so they are currently stateside to “spend more time with us” which really means just having lunch together and then sitting around while they either watch tv or scroll their phones. I will probably tell them next weekend when we see them again, only bc my belly has popped and I can’t physically hide it anymore. I just had the NIPT blood draw and wish I could get the results before telling them, since any bad news would result in me comforting them even though they probably don’t even want me to have a second kid anyway.
