Help! My Mom Gave All Her Savings to My Brother and I’m Pregnant!

Hey everyone,

I’m in a bit of a pickle and could really use some advice. So, here’s the deal: I recently found out that I’m pregnant (yay, right?), but I haven’t had the chance to tell my mom yet. Things have been super hectic, and I was waiting for the right moment. But here’s the kicker – my mom, Lillian, just decided to give all the money she’s been saving up for years to my brother, Eric.

I’m really happy for Eric because he’s been going through a tough time and could use the support. But at the same time, I’m feeling a bit lost and worried about my own situation. I mean, having a baby is expensive, and I was kind of counting on some help from my mom.

I don’t want to come off as selfish or ungrateful, but I also need to think about my future and my baby’s future. How do I approach this with my mom without causing a huge family drama? Should I tell her about the pregnancy first and then bring up the money issue? Or should I just suck it up and figure things out on my own?

Any advice or similar experiences would be super helpful right now. Thanks in advance!

Love,

Arianna
