So after my partner’s decision to keep the pregnancy, her mother has said she will not support her and that she is throwing away her dreams and ruining everything, even though my girlfriend and I don’t feel that way.
It’s difficult enough dealing with an unplanned pregnancy without intense pressure and condemnation from one’s own mother. It’s a painful time.

You two are very brave to choose life when family is so opposed. Going to be challenges ahead.
In hindsight, I wish we had kids earlier in life. School and work brought us nothing as good. Wish we had more kids.
Age is a hard limiter. There is a time for things: even if frozen eggs and hormone injections can make a woman conceive, it doesn’t change how out of touch parents will be the more years there are between them and their kids, or how much less energy they have to be great parents late in life.
You have 50 more years to learn as much as you want or change as many jobs as you want, but the child window shrinks and closes by your mid/late 30s. · 1 month ago
That sucks, sorry to hear it. She's probably processing things at a few steps behind you two. She might come around at some point though. Do things decently and show that you're aiming to take care of each other. Besides, whose dream is getting thrown away? Having kids and a committed family is a good dream. · 1 month ago
Just replied to your other thread before seeing this post. Really sucks that your partner's mom has decided she won't be supporting her daughter. I hope she comes around. Raising a kid's hard work, but it sure ain't the end of all your hopes and dreams, and having good support sure makes a difference. · 2 months ago
what a sad reaction. i do wish both (all three actually) all the best and may the opinion change and the support you need come from her eventually. · 2 months ago
Bad mother, may the gods curse her.. parents should always stand behind their children. but on the other hand, in my humple optionion, nowadays there are no unplanned pregnancies.. just some people who did not use protection. please don't get me wrong, my mum was pregnant with me at the age of 17 and i have wonderful parents with a great parenthood. · 2 months ago
