So, I have 'the girl'-- I love her to bits and beyond.
She has her life going and she's doing very well by herself.
I like that she's listened to me along the way--well, maybe not immediately.....but somewhere about age 18, *I* started to become 'intelligent' in her eyes. LOL What's not to like about that?!
She likes to journal and I get to visit her website from time to time (read: multiple times a day) cuz she's pretty good at keeping that journal better updated than she is at updating ME.
She posted on her journal the answers to a quiz she recently took:
"273,290 descendants-"
"you're more genetically fit than 52% of the current population"
Can you guess that my response to her journal post was:
"OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!"
AUGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Many moons ago she PROMISED there would be NO babies until she was closer to thirty.
She's now 25.
That's 'closer to thirty' than I'd like it to be.
It oughta be a non-issue. She ought to know by now that the RULES dictate that babies not happen until I'M ready for them to happen..........until then.........NO BABIES. She's not even married--nor is she showing great interest in that experience.
She's assuring me that marriage isn't required for babies to happen.
And she's reminding me this was something I TOLD her, once upon a time.
C'mon.........I also told her that green beans were a good source of iron...does she listen to THAT?! No. I think she has convenient recall.
I assured her that not only is 'closer to thirty' required, but so is marriage--and so is PARENTAL PERMISSION.......still...............
I'm not READY to be a grandmother.
273,290 descendants............
She told me she needs to get started SOON and have multiple sets of triplets if that's going to happen.
OMG......
NonononononononononononoNO!!
I'm going to visit her on Sunday and I'm duct taping her knees together.

Eh....my sister was a grandmother at 39. I was a great aunt when I was 27. It ain't so bad.
*grins* I'm not helping, am I?
I'm not sure about the duct tape!
oh, and on the not helping front. . .
;-)
. . . all I keep reading about this side of the pond is how it is so much healthier for a mother to have children earlier rather than later (and I'm sure the age 25 was mentioned, somewhere, recently; wonder if I could dig that out?)
but of course, none of that has anything to do with ability to parent, readiness to grandparent, and and and
(oh, I needn't go on, need I?!)
*smiles supportively*
oh, you make me laugh so hard sometimes.
My oldest is 19....
I don't want to be a gramma!
