Pregnancy is an exciting phase in most people's lives. You learn how to nourish your body not only for yourself, but for a little someone growing inside you. If you're not carrying the baby, you're taking classes on how to be a good, supportive partner while your partner learns about different breathing techniques to help them ease through delivery. It's an exciting time, and most people want their family members to share in this excitement with them. What do you do when your parents choose an annual long vacation instead of sticking around to welcome their new grandchild? You go no contact, probably.
Say what you want about traditions… At times, traditions must be put on hold for unforeseen circumstances. You usually go to Grandma's for Christmas, but your whole family has the flu? Looks like you're celebrating at home this year. Did your car break down on your way to your annual family barbecue, nearly two hours away? AAA might be your new tradition…
We switch things up when our circumstances change; that's the only way through this life. You'd probably hope that your parents would shift their vacation so they could welcome their new grandchild into the world, but your hopes would be let down. The soon-to-be mom in the story below is dealing with this exact scenario and is starting to connect the dots of her parents' entitled ways. At what point do you stop allowing family to walk all over you? Is this reason enough to cut them off? What do you think? Sound off in the comments after you read the full story, and let us know what you'd do if you were in this mom-to-be's shoes.
