So, my brother is going to be a dad! His first baby, and I'm so excited for him. My mom? Not so much. No, he's not married. No, he doesn't have a great job, and neither does his girlfriend. Yes, she already has 2 kids from 2 different dads. But, you know what? They are happy (it wasn't planned, but was something they wanted in the near future), and this baby deserves to be celebrated!!!! IT'S A BABY!!! Oh, did I mention, my brother is 33 years old???
I think my mom is embarrassed. The baby is due in February and Mom hasn't told ANYONE in the family except my grandfather. WHUCK? She said she's waiting to see if they are going to get married before the baby gets here. I just went ahead and told her to stop holding her breath! Let's see....unexpected pregnancy, 70hour work weeks for my brother in construction, 2 other kids to parent, money issues of course - I'm thinking a wedding is the LAST thing on their minds!
it is what it is, and she cannot change that! I just wish she would get over her qualms and be happy for them. yes, i realize they have everything in the world working against them in terms of making this work for the long term BUT, that's then and this is now. Let's be happy for them and celebrate this baby!!! (which BTW they just found out is a BOY and is HEALTHY - yeah!~~!~)
