Wow @Pandora! Sorry…but that’s way out there! I love my grandkids. And this is my only son’s first baby so this one is going to be especially favored, just because everyone, including his sisters, especially favor their ‘little’ (6’ 5”) brother. Plus, she’s only the 2nd girl out of 6 kids (4 boys.). Nobody’s going to get NEAR the girl when she hits Middle School!
I hardly think that holding a baby on demand is a precursor to how I feel about her, or am going to feel about her. I didn’t feel the need to hold my other grandkids 24/7 when I had the chance. They’re 16, 11, 8 and 6 now…and everyone knows gramma’s house is “magic.” The home of Magic Cinnamon Sugar Toast. The home of the Magic Toy Box. The home of books and adventures, mud pies, hugs and lovins.
@JLeslie Well, in her case, she wants me to hold the baby because she is concerned that we don’t like or approve of her…and we don’t. Just a few months after they started dating she went off her birth control…and didn’t tell my son. She did it because she could tell he was having second thoughts about her and she assumed getting pregnante would “keep” him….he said she just screams, all the time. Screams at him, screams her her other two boys (which my son has taken on as his own.) She’s lazy. Her house is filthy. She quit work 3 months into her pregnancy, refuses to find work even now, even though she has been physically able to for over a month. The financial strain on my son is unbelievable, and she doesn’t care. She still thinks that she can control everyone with this baby. No. We do not like her, Sam I Am
But, that has absolutely nothing to do with how I feel about HIS baby. Shoot. All my grandkids were born out of wedlock.
Anyway, that’s her motivation, but other women have done it too, and I just don’t understand it.
