You're 30 ... an adult ... who cares what your mom wants?

Or are you still living with her, and expecting her to take care of your kids? Because if that's the case, you should move out - and get your baby's daddy to accept his responsibility of taking care of his family.

If you are 30 .. you should be acting like a responsible adult by now ... Sounds like you might have to work on that.

Don't think for one minute just because you are 30 that your mom isn't still going to be a mom. Mom's NEVER stop caring and worrying about their children even when they become adults. She is probably very concerned about your being able to care for another child. My guess this is not about 'control'...This is about concern.

If you are 30 years old, it would seem to me that your mom should really have no say how many children you have! If she has that much control on your uterus, maybe it's time to re-assess your relationship with her, and cut the apron strings already!

This isn't her responsibility, problem or business. She should be playing the role of doting grandma if she earns the right to it. Have you abdicated your rights and responsibilities as a mother here? Do you two have some problems with boundaries in your relationships? If so, you may want to get help with that quickly.

That's where you are soo wrong...A mother will ALWAYS be concerned about her child .. no matter how old she is. So it IS her business and her problem.Playing the role of doting grandma is one thing .. Playing the role of cheapie babysitter and financial supporter is another matter completely. We don't know all the facts here. Our OP didn't say anythng about her ability to support her one child, not to mention a second child.

Her mom can always care about her daughter but it isn't her responsibility to be her thirty year old daughters care taker.

you shouldn't care if she gets mad. she is your mother and should support you all the way through. and if she gets mad say"well i think this a wonderful thing, tell me when you do."

Pfffttt .. in a perfect world maybe .. Reality is not that nice. Reality sucks sometimes .. Reality costs (a lot) .. Reality is very cruel .. Reality means you have to be able to support a child (on your own) without the financial aid of ANYONE else until they are able to support themselves .. usually until they are into their late teens/early 20's. Doesn't sound like our OP is able to say that...thus the Mother's concern...this 2nd time around.

That all depends on who is paying to raise this child. If you are then just tell her if she is tell her you need a babysitter so you can go find a job to support your 2 kids. There you told her. Lol

That's weird because by the time your 30 your mom should be enjoying her grandchild and wanting more. I can only assume your not married at this time or settled. Otherwise, why would she not want you to have more kids? Either way it does not matter at this point since your pregnant, just be honest with her.
