Cutting Myself Off from Family

“I feel like I’m the future when I visit family I’m going to be drowning in kids. I’d honestly rather spend family holidays alone.”

THIS. This is me right now....when my husband and I moved overseas, within a year, 5 new babies were born in our family (plus the younger kids). It’s TOO MUCH. I’m not even there and already feel miserable about it. I dread moving back to the states and visiting because I cannot stand being around kids and that’s all my family talks about anymore. And since I’m the only one with no kids they are pressuring me and asking MORE questions than ever.

They (my parents) have 4 grandkids (1-2 years old) but I guess they already got bored of them and want a NEW baby to coo over for a few months and get bored again...
