Am I being ungrateful

Yesterday was my baby shower and I have to admit I didn’t enjoy myself at all. My partner couldn’t come as we are long distance. I was also doing a joint gender reveal and I just felt and thought I was faking my emotions. My family where just constantly get on to me about this and that and then complain that I should be relaxing and enjoying myself but not helping. Everyone was just complaining about the music but not trying to help or giving suggestions. My friends turnt up late meaning food was delayed and other guest had to step in to help with the cooking (which they shouldn’t have) a family member got really drunk, and their son was constantly baking orders at people to look after her and in the end started saying really inappropriate things and taking peoples life’s and kicking everyone out. To put a long story short I wish I never had one. I don’t see myself hosting a 1st birthday and will probably be doing something just me and my partner. I just feel like I should be happy now celebrating my first child and instead in here crying, wishing I just didn’t have one.

Not ungrateful at all sounds like it was a hectic day and not a nice experience for you :( x

I would be feeling the same. You are NOT being ungrateful, take a moment to breathe and try to think about the positive parts only.

Not ungrateful honestly your family sounds like mine they used to do that to my bdays- becoming a parent is when i noticed how toxic my family really was …

You are not ungrateful at all. I am so sorry this was your experience 😢❤️

I didn’t do much for baby’s 1st bday it was great I’m sorry u went thru that.

Not at all! It’s your day and it’s okay to feel the way you do. Don’t listen to people, they don’t know what you’re going through. I’d suggest doing something on your own to do a little celebration with you and the little baby in your belly. Go for a nice dinner, celebrate alone- it’ll be much much better and you can really count that as your real baby shower. xx

Thank you guys I’ve spoken with all my family, and told them how I feel. I’ve decided I will do a private shower for just me and the baby. Thank you for all your kind messages 🩷

I could never do long distance relationships, that has to be a factor

@Tiffany thanks for your message, it’s a good thing it’s my relationship and not yours x

I'm sorry you went through all that and I hope that your family respected your feelings after you told them how you felt. 💔

@Tiffany That's very rude to say! And she wasn't asking about her relationship!
