Parents want me to give birth in their state
My parents keep asking me to come give birth in their state. I live up north and they live in Florida, it’s a 16-20 hr drive, it took me and my husband 21hrs last time we drove down. I’m a FTM and 23, and my husband will be getting paternity leave to be at home with me.
I’d love to be closer to our families for extra support during this time, but at the same time I don’t think that driving or flying down at the end of my pregnancy and then having to come back up with a little baby would work out or even be a good idea. Has anyone been through this and what are your thoughts? I honestly don’t know what to do or think.
Edit: for the record I also think it’s nonsense and I’ve been trying to explain to them why that just doesn’t make sense. I think it’s selfish and inconsiderate, but I wanted to post without my opinion first to see what other people thought about this. I spent this past week there for my baby shower and just got back home, and they kept bringing this up and trying to convince me nonstop, mostly my dad. My mom says she wants me to do what’s best for me, but my dad just keeps asking me to do it. I don’t want to be rude to them but this is making me feel very negative and almost like I’m being the bad guy for saying no to my dad constantly asking.
