DearPrudie: Becoming a grandmother-to-be has ruined my mom’s personality.
I don’t dislike kids, but I work in a daycare. When I am done, I don’t want focus on them in my downtime. I have a great group of friends, a wonderful boyfriend, and have even taken up figure skating again . My problem is my mother. My brothers’ wives are both expecting, and she is over the moon about being a grandma. Except neither of my sisters-in-law are particularly close to my mother. There is no bad blood, but they have their own mothers to come to about parenting and pregnancy issues.
She stopped cooking and exploded into a smile: You are having a baby! I told her no—I got offered a job because of my figure skating. All my mother’s enthusiasm leaked away. I got a “that is nice dear.” Dinner was awful. I was hurt and my mother kept pushing and pushing more baby talk at me. I snapped and told her I was sick of the subject. Could we talk about something else? My mother told me not to be “jealous.” I didn’t want to fight .
