Today, I held a party for my family so I could announce my pregnancy. In the middle of my speech, my mother stopped me, saying, "Nobody gives a rat's ass, where's the booze?" FML

The speech took less than 2 minutes, it was a brief message thanking everyone for coming and how me and my husband greatly appreciate it. The party was the only way to gather my whole family. A dinner reservation would cost hundreds of dollars considering the size of my family. My brother just led my mother out and we carried on. Yes, we did supply a little wine but be didn't want a lot of alcohol considering I am pregnant and I don't want anyone drunk. Just clearing it up (:

She's just looking out for the health of your baby. Now that you can't consume your alcohol, your mom just wants to remove it from your home for safety's sake. You are blessed to have a mom who will "take one for the team!"

Evil grandmother: check. Alcohol fueled lifestyle: check. Beginnings of a Disney film: check. Now for the plot to unfold.

Why wasn't the "booze" already out? I wouldn't have told her not where the alcohol was and after she left the room then continued with my speech.

Don't you know that nowadays it is common practice to announce these things on Facebook instead???

I guess I can give you a congrats... But it's your mother I would expect her to be happy...but still if she didn't know i think she may have thought your speech was about something else...

I feel your pain, gathering a large family is a huge event all on its own, we got lucky and found out before thanksgiving so that helped! Forget the naysayers, congrats to you both and maybe not use mom for baby sitting lol j/k

A whole speech? It's two words: "I'm" and "pregnant." It ain't the Gettysburg Address.

Did you even bother reading OP comment, which ironically is above yours?

oh and it's actually three words... "i" + "am" + "pregnant"

You should have replied "It's in the store. Go get it." And then not let her in when (if) she comes back.

A speech? How long does it take to say, "I'm pregnant?" No one wants to know how you and your husband tried anal and he missed.

Let me play this out for you...ahem: Woman at party: "Excuse me everyone? Could I have your attention? I just wanted to say that I've thrown this party to make a very special announcement. My husband and I -- Mother: "---Who cares?! Where's the booze!?" If this is anything like how it went, that is a speech even if it is short.

My aunt and uncle announced it by inviting everyone to party and wearing #1 mom and #1 dad shirts.

I agree with other's, throwing yourself a baby announcement party is a bit obnoxious, but I do think it's your Mom that sucks, not your life.

I don't see why everyone is bashing OP for having a party to announce this... Its a great way to tell all your friends at once so no one feels left out for not being told first or ending up the last one to find out.

Maybe they having been trying for a long time, and the family was involved, so they wanted to announce it, people throw parties to announce the gender all the time so why not announce pregnancy!
