Im going to be a single mom, as I am pregnant with my first child, which I am very excited about. I am a full time college student for the time being and work a full time job. I consider this being responsible.

even tho I know this is not the ideal situation to have a first child under, I wouldnt change how things have went for anything.

My ? comes to how to deal with my aunt. I was raised on a farm along with my brothers. Both of my parents were raised on a farm as well. I am living on our family farm in the second house this way I am close to my parents if I need help and they will also be able to see their first grandchild often, which they are very excited for!

When we first told my aunt I was expecting she was very supportive even though she lives a ways away. However, When I went to my grandmas for christmas dinner she was also there. She must have had a change of heart about how she felt about MY situation.

She asked if I was keeping my baby or giving it up for adoption which I had talked about with my family but new that was not an option for me as I would regret it the rest of my life. After explaining to her I was keeping my baby she blew a gasket.

She informed me I was ruining my life, which is fine if thats what she wants to think I know its not true, but then to go on and say Im ruining my childs life as well, that hurt BAD!!! In the course of this she also popped off that a farm is not a place to raise a kid, which was offensive because I was raised on a farm and my parents were raised on a farm and so was she for the matter.

She now doesnt talk to me or call me back as I have tried to contact her as she is family and I dont want to cause any rifts. I just recently found out she has been asking other relatives how I am doing and such. This bothers me as I feelif she doesnt want to talk to me, it is not important for her to know how baby and I are doing.

She will more than likely be at my grammies for easter, which is also where my family is spending the day, and my baby shower is the wk end after easter, and my mom had me invite her, once again because she is family. I just need suggestions on things I could say in my defense but not come across snappy or rude, if she is negative towards me or baby. Any suggestions would help!

Sorry it is so long!
