Dear Abby: Teen daughters not happy that Mom’s pregnant
Teen daughters not happy that Mom’s pregnant
On a recent second-honeymoon trip to Sweden, I became pregnant.
Far more important than how your immature and self-centered daughters feel about your pregnancy is how you and your husband feel about it.
Teenagers don’t like to consider their parents as sexual beings, which may be part of the reason for their reaction.
[...] my husband takes her food shopping and wherever else she has to go.
From the tone of your last remark It’s clear you and your mother-in-law aren’t close. and probably never were.
Surely there is alternate transportation for her — buses, taxis, Uber and Lyft come to mind.
If she was so traumatized by the accident that she’s afraid to get behind the wheel again, she may need a therapist to overcome it.
Whatever the reason, this won’t stop until you and your husband quit enabling her.
If she needs groceries, offer to order them online for her yourself if she isn’t computer literate.
