I love that one! I can hear my own mom saying this

Uh… Not to be harsh to her mom, but maybe she learned from her what not to do?
August 14, 2009 at 11:43 am
I concur with rachel!

Thats something to strive for.

If I didn’t know better, I’d swear this mom was me. My daughter just blessed me with a grandchild – 3 weeks before she turned 26. I am sure this mom means well. Mothers do recall things like how many children they had at what age. It’s not always a call for grandchildren!
August 14, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Now, was she talking about getting divorced or having babies?
August 15, 2009 at 7:02 am
I just turned 27 a couple weeks ago, and my mom’s the same way… My mom even signed me up for eharmony recently, because not only do I not have babies, there is no man in the picture to help provide them. I love her, but geez…

Wow… This is crazy for me because my mom is always pushing me to wait-wait-wait on kids and I’m 25. I’m scared that if I ever do get preggers, she will be devastated. “But what about your FUTURE?? Your JOB??” She has 4 kids, so maybe she’s just scared that once I start, I won’t stop… :)

I feel glad now that my mom pretty much gave up hope on ever having grandkids 4 years ago, when I was 20. She told my father not to plan on having any, to which he replied, “Why? Is she like me?” He’s gay and the answer is no.
