Have MASSIVE concerns about pregnancy news....Im scared guys....

I know my BD will be fine, she is desperate for a sibling, and I know that through recent casual chats that she will cope brilliantly, but then Im a good parent!

I have massive concerns over the SKids though....two in particular. SS19 I think will overall be totally fine, he will be pleased for us both and such. SS17 I think will use it as a weapon against his dad, especially given what happened the other week. He told OH he would be down to visit on Tuesday gone, but again never bothered. He will contact OH on Friday though, cos its his birthday and he will want his birthday money.....I know that he will be bitter about it underneath, and I think OH will lose SS17 with this news.
SD6 is also going to be a problem. Whilst I understand that its difficult for her, I also feel that OH doesnt help the situation. OH originally spoke with her about having a sibling and she said no, he chatted and reassured some more and apparently was appeased when he said that "if she didnt want us to have one then we wouldnt have one"...I was livid, but OH assured me that he said it because he knew she was ok about it now.....she told me last week that she didnt want a sibling at all, and I KNOW that SD WILL remind OH of what he said.

Oh has also said he doesnt want a girl, he wants a boy. Ive been open and said Id like another girl, but Id also be happy with a son(I only have 1 bio and its a girl)....thing is, I know he only wants a boy because he will "worry how SD6 will feel if its a girl"....

On top of all of that, once BM finds out the sh*t will hit the fan.....she will then assist in the SKids bitterness, even encourage it and SS17 will refuse to have anything to do with us, and SD6 will turn.....

Im scared. I shouldnt have to deal with this. Im soooo happy to be expecting again, but I seem to have so much going on in my head regarding the SKids that its taking the shine off. It wouldnt be so bad if BM was a normal human being and the SKids were normal SKids....but thats not the case for me.

Fuck em if they dont like it.

YOU are a good Mom. YOU will take care of this baby just fine and dandy.

The 17 year old can suck it the hell up, if he hates that much, he can leave at 18.

The 6 year old will learn to cope, or not. Either way that is HIS problem not yours or either of your childrens'.

YOU be a happy, shiny, beautiful pregnant Mommy! YOU deserve it!

You are my hero for saying this ("I hope its a girl so she has to realise not everything is about her.") because I thought it but didn't want to say it.
I have very little patience or tolerance for foolishness like this.

I'm joining in on this one, I hope you get a little girl and she's ten times prettier and smarter than sd!

Put what the rest of them think out of your head, it's not their pregnancy.

Keep SD6 involved and she will most likely be fine. She will follow DH's lead so you need to rein him in. If he is worried how SD6 will react to a girl, she will feed on that and use it against him. In other words, he might become a Disney Dad to her to make her feel like she's still his little girl.

It is a great time to teach her that all is not about her but it can be done with kindness, not spite.
