0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM.
0:10.0	I'm 11.
0:11.0	Andro welcome to the program.
0:13.0	Hi, Dr. Laura. Thanks for taking my call today.
0:17.0	Thank you.
0:18.0	I'm hoping that you can help me just know if my response to my mom was appropriate and how you recommend dealing with this moving forward.
0:26.0	So I'm nine months pregnant and my due date was five days ago.
0:31.0	And it's my first pregnancy and it's the first grandchild.
0:34.0	And my mom is in town staying with us. And she has a family group text that I'm also on with her parents and then all of our aunts and uncles and cousins.

1:57.0	Ma'am, if you didn't tell her not to do this, then you should do it now. And I think it is ridiculous. These family, these family things, I don't support.
2:10.0	You do not like every person on that site. You do not trust. You do not feel close to. You don't want to share everything with everybody on that list.
2:23.0	I agree.
2:25.0	Well, you shouldn't be on it. And you should tell your mother not to print anything about you, your husband or the baby. Ever.
