Where your parents supportive of your parenting choices?

[Samantha's pet]

I agree with you 100% that family does matter and it's nice to have their support. But, when you get married and start a family the majority of your support should come from your immediate family (husband, kids, etc) because in the end that is who it is going to directly impact.

It seems like the people that I know who must have things planned down to the minute are often the ones who keep themselves stressed out. Now, this is just my observation of a few of the people I know....each person is different.

It just matters to me. Having my friends and family completely doubt me matters. It wont affect my decision but it hurts. I already said I wont be terriby disappointed of everything I want doesnt happen but I HAVE to be spaecific and at least have a plan. This is the birth and raising of my child. I'm not just going to wing it! lol. The whole plan and everything I have decided it tenative. I am completely prepared to alter the plan but everyone makes these decisions ahead of time. I dont feel like there's anything wrong with being prepared. It would be stupid of me not to.

I didnt mean to sound offensive toward people who truy cant breastfeed but there are a lot of people who "give up" or change their minds and just say they "couldnt" ( I am NOT talking about Sparks. ppl I know irl) and I want people to realize that I will unless I truly CANT.

I am at a point where I am going to start lying about my plans or just not really answering. Its hard, though, b/c I am excited and I want to tell the people I care about. Oh well.
