Disappointed in parents

Random, but i just feel the need to rant somewhere. Have you guys felt disappointed or little resentment towards your parents during or after your pregnancy? Ever since the start of my pregnancy until now, 33weeks, my parents has never really asked me about my well being or about baby’s well being. Its always im the one that need to randomly update or tell them. Im staying with my in laws, and im always the one that need to visit my parents house, they have never once asked me to come over or try to visit me or ask me out. They also always tell me to msg them whenever i want or if i need something, when we meet. But whenever i msg them, specifically my mum, be it normal msg to inform something or to rant about something thats bothering me, she always never reply. Mind you, shes almost mostly on her phone. As of now they also never like buy things for me or baby, or like chip in to buy baby stuff. Not a single thing. Fyi i am the first in family to be pregnant this will be their first grandchild. I just feel and wished that my parents wouldve given me more support or so. Cause i feel like im not their daughter ? Pls dont me to tell my parents or talk to them abt this cs im not the type to let out my feelings and itll be awkward if i do so. Aside to this, is it normal to feel that pregnancy can be very lonely ? Like nobody feels you or understand you and you kind of expected mroe support but never really get it. Be it from husband or others. It feels like im going through this journey alone. And people just want the outcome, which is the baby, they never really care about the journey or process that youre gg thru. #FTM

Haha Asian parents things. Sometimes I see how can people so sayang their daughter. Esp the most viral video abt the father telling the son in law if he dw her anymore pls return back. My mum will be the reason Im getting sot. during confinement, she don’t even pay for my food etc Ok I mean she don’t need to but she will wanna claim from my husband. I mean.. like very calculative. I see other people they will sponsor nannny, buy bird nest pls. Even $20 she also wanna take from my husband. She will scream and scold me too. My nanny will say her say : please don’t do that. If not she will get PPD. I stay in my room and cry when we had a fight. ( nanny was around back then ) Jy ok. Just our parents (sayang) us in a different way. Just not good in words, money and whatever. Haha just in their heart and mind ba.
