A few days ago my daughter told me that she and her husband are expecting another baby. Of course, as a grandmother I should be happy, but I don’t feel like it. I decided to tell you, because I do not really want to tell my friends.
My daughter is going to have her third child. But my daughter is only 28 years old, and my son-in-law is only 27 years old. Once I gave birth at 22 and was 100% sure that it was my first and last child. In general, times were quite hard then, so I had a goal to raise and educate one child as a decent and decent person and I wanted to somehow diversify my life, not to drown in diapers.
My husband died quite early. I really wanted to put her on her feet and give her a good education. Starting from the eighth grade, I started paying for various tutors for her to learn English. My daughter managed to easily enter the university on a budget to study journalism. She had only grand plans ahead of her, I always supported her in all her endeavors.
And later she met her future husband and got married. Already at the age of 24, her first grandson was born, and two years later her granddaughter was born. And now – another child! I do not even know when my daughter will finally come out of maternity leave and return to work. Why did she need this education at all? I invested so much effort and money in her development. Her diplomas are now just lying idle at home.
I do not say anything to her about this, because I know very well that conflicts and quarrels will immediately begin, and I definitely do not need it.
Now for some reason young people do not want to listen to the opinion of older people. I can not understand one thing: why do they limit themselves so much in life? She has never seen anything else but diapers and babies. All her days are the same, nothing new happens in her life. Does she really see any sense in this?
I am very worried that they will not stop on the third child. I can not understand what she is thinking? And her husband has no sense in his head at all.
Why at such a young age they decided to become parents with many children? How is the man going to support such a family? I am very sorry for my own daughter. I do not understand why she chose such a life for herself? I can not come to terms with it.
And what do you say to this situation?
