Another topic... people are kind of overreacting to my announcement that my son and DIL are expecting. By people, I mean my close friends. I am very happy for my son and DIL, but really, I hate to say it, I don't like thinking about myself as a grandmother. I know I will love the baby and they will be great parents and we will have fun. But, I am not going to make it my whole life. I was the same way when I had young kids, and my kids were very planned and wanted. I get almost a negative/oppositional reaction to situations wherepeople try to put me in a traditional role. Feh.
I told my DH he can start saving for the bike trailer and he said, "Yes, and it will be attached to *your* bike."
