Nada thinks I should give her my child

[Guest guest]

I informed my mother last week that I'm pregnant (I had to tell her it

was a GOOD thing). I'd already told everyone on my dh's side weeks

ago (we live around them and 500 miles from my mom) but I was not

anxious to see my mom's reaction. So anyway, she's absolutely smitten

with my first child, a girl who is 20 months old. After I tell her

about being pregnant she tells me in that serious voice that

means 'This is what would be best for you',

" Well, if you find out you don't have time for A***, send her down

here. We'd like to have her until the baby is older "

If it had been anyone else saying that I'd think 'That's a weird thing

to joke about' of course with my mom she wasn't joking at all. Yeah,

after ruining my childhood let me hand over MY child to you, Crazy

woman.

I swear, I'm 31 and been married for 11 years and yet she manages to

make me having a second child sound irresponsible. I'm worried this

next kid will be the " black sheep " for her.

Anyone else had your parent try to take a child away from you? This

is kind of freaking me out.
