Firstly, how old is this grandma? SHE is having kids? How old is she?
Secondly their choices are screwy IMHO but if you want them to respect yours you gotta respect theirs. Then again, maybe they don't respect yours and won't no matter what you do.
Thirdly, I'm sorry it was baby baby baby how nausiating!
Sorry you had to put up with that!
I will be seeing my family next year (but not for a while) but I'm not sure how it's gonna go. My mum and dad are fine but I mean the rest of the family. Some have two kids, some have four, one has 7.
And my grandma initially seemed to think I'd achieved NOTHING in life of significance cause I wasn't married with kids or deeply religious! Well that's the impression I got. I think now she respects I was born to travel not have kids! (To each their own!)
(And yes eight kids IS bad for the environment!!)
My colleague who is a mother of three might have this mindset. She said her grandparents were surrounded by grandchildren and lots of people in the house and so they were never lonely.
Personally, to me that sounds like hell!
But to each their own.
I too hate it when I'm sick and people say I must be pregnant and it's the first thing mother of three DOES say! (We work with kids so sometimes we DO pick up their sicknesses.)
Laughing at the "little [censored]" thing.
I have heard this too about Morning sickness, not necessarily just in the morning!
Oh I think my brother and his wife would have eight kids cause they don't believe in birth control at ALL but my mum and dad want them to slow down cause they've ALREADY had to REALLY help out financially. And one of my cousins and her husband have 7!!
And one of my male cousins might be childfree (or just lucky in a way?!) cause he is in his 40s now and no kids.
Difference is he hasn't really settled with anyone whereas I have.
Meaning if he did I don't know whether he'd have them or not.




I leave the child-rearing to people who feel called to it. I've never felt that call.
