just ignore and let this one die

My oldest married a woman with MS. She has chosen not to have children. I love her to death, am thrilled to have her in the family and accept and respect her decision. The next 2, one is a lawyer and one is a bank manager, both graduated from college (and law school) years ago. It's those 2 I am really looking askance at. What is the problem?

The 2 youngest are still early 20's relationships aren't serious, just havin fun. I'm ok with them, they aren't responsible enough yet. But those 2 middle ones are giving me the blues.

and I'm just itching to click on Rafe's thread entitled "Nsfw"....but I'm at work!!!

Ah yes, I would likely be wanting some grandkids in the case of the 2 middle ones also.

That is because, much to my dismay, chagrin, embarrassment, and grief, I am *not* a grandmother. I am so ready to be a grandmother. My husband and I have 5 kids between us, all grown. One married, the oldest. NOBODY has given birth to anything. What is wrong with them? They tell me it is because it was beat into their heads, in their younger years, not to get pregnant, not to get anybody pregnant, so now it's like a phobia or something. I tell them it's ok now, forget all that. So if I do not look like a grandmother now, I am totally ready to, anytime my kids are ready to provide me with a reason to look like a grandmother. I'm sure I will magically metamorphose the instant I learn I am to be a grandmother. I hope on that day, I will be as beautiful as you are.

ETA: I'd give up the unruly hair anyday, to hold a grandchild in my arms.

Kaimi, it's good to see what you look like in RL, and you DO look like your avatar!

and I'm just itching to click on Rafe's thread entitled "Nsfw"....but I'm at work!!!

I posted a hint in that thread - you have to click it a lot before it works right.

And that's an ironic shame. From what you've shown here, I can't think of a better candidate. You'd be compassionate, thoughtful, but most importantly, very fair minded I think.

Darling Lula - YOU are so sweet and kind! And you have one of the most beautiful avatars and and take some of the best pictures.

When I see all the fantastic pictures everyone puts up I'm always half-way inspired to join in but then too lazy to do anything about it.

Here's a picture I made of myself yesterday for another purpose. This picture is almost exactly how I imagine my rl self to look.

Here's a picture of rl me and one of the grandkids a few years ago :

(He's changed since then more than I have.)

Wow! I asked for one lovely photo and we got two! One even has a bonus! A beautiful grand-baby! His smile tells us much about how he feels about his grand-mom!

Thank you Kaimi! Your avatar is beautiful and so are you!

The daughter, the one who is a lawyer, turns up her nose and says 'I am going to raise show dogs, not children'. She is a partner in her firm and is very driven and ambitious career-wise. The son, the bank manager says 'Girlfriend? It's just another bill, mom'. lol what an attitude to have toward the potential love of one's life, just another bill.

She sounds like my sister. A psychologist who had kids to keep a husband around. Now that she's thru with him, she's moved onto some other guy.

My sister will tell my niece & nephew, when they want Mommy to play with them, "Your Mother doesnt Play". Then she goes back to whatever she's doing on the laptop.

To her, kids are an accessory.

Just like her Dogs.... which she's leaving with the Ex now that she's done with them.

I hope you went for a massage afterward. Or made an appointment with your chiropractor!!!

@Kelly - cute! I think I like the top but it's hard to tell.

Wow, looks like everyone but Maureen and Brenda slept in today.

geez...you do not want to google the phrase "hot coffee" - who knew???

I was up at six. I even peeked in here. Next time I'll say hello just to go on record as being awake.

Wow, looks like everyone but Maureen and Brenda slept in today.
