Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Joanne, You are so sweet to give your support for my suggestions to Trish. Sometimes I think you guys probably just think I'm nuts because I run my mouth so much! However, time after time, you all make me feel so wanted and appreciated. Thank you. You brightened my day! In case you cannot tell, I truly believe that children are treasures from God. I have told my daughter that being a mother will be the hardest thing she will ever do in her life. I've also told her that at times it will bring her more pain than she can ever imagine she would be able to endure (such as when your child is sick, hurting, or even just sad). I've told her that in spite of the pain and hard work, that being a mother will bring her more joy than she ever even imagine. Nikki truly cannot wait to begin their family, but she will wait until the time is right because she knows that is what is best. However, given a choice, she'd have gotten married a year or so ago and already have one baby and maybe another on the way! I've told her she and her fiance cannot start a family until I can afford to be a grandmother! They are getting married May 29th and I told her I need about two years to recover from the wedding before I can afford for them to begin their family! I'm really sort of just teasing, but I'm kind of serious, also. They are both sensible and their plans right now are for them to begin working on their family after they've been married for about two years. That would meant they'd be around 25-26 when they have their first child and I told Nikki I thought that was a great age to start a family. Well, there I go, running my mouth again! I'll hush now! with love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had known being a grandmother (or MiMi) was going to be this fun....I wouldnt have had the grandkids first!!! They are so great!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Beckie, I'm sure I will enjoy it all. I have no doubt that I will be in hog heaven when I have grandchildren to spoil and then send home! I do love kids but I am glad mine are grown because I'd have a hard time finding the energy to be a mom to little ones at this time in my life. I have a 7 year old nephew (he is my biological great nephew but my sis and her hubby adopted him). I adore him and try to have him overnight on a regular basis. I never have any trouble with him, but he does tire me out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
