I have been busy trying to set up my verizon home monitoring system and in the process I took a quick smoke break (yes, I smoke...bad bad I know). While I was lighting up, my bf's sister called me. Randomly. I barely, if ever, talk to her on the phone. She was a little lonely as her husband is at work and she's home with their almost 1 month old (he was born on Halloween).
She started rambling about how she misses being at work and misses being able to just pick up and leave to go wherever, whenever. I laughed and said, well, you wanted to have a baby, so you did. Now, you have to handle the responsibilities of being a mom. She went on her ramble/vent.
Then, she asks the question: "When are you two going to have a baby? I mean, you guys have been together for over a year and now you're living together, so don't you think it's time??" My jaw hit the floor. This is the first time (other than my mother approaching me about this same issue a few months ago) that someone from HIS side has asked. I mean, his mom has poked at it, but stopped when I gave her the "look."
I was flabergasted. I didn't know how to answer. So, I just said that we have time to worry about it and right now it's not on our to do list. I heard her gasp over the phone and I think she was shocked that I pushed that question off the way I did. Wth else do you want me to say/do? My bf and I have discussed how many kids we want and have agreed that if it happens, then it happens and we'll be happy.
I can tell he wants to be a Dad, just based on the way he reacts towards my 16 month old nephew. He can't get enough of him.
Has anyone been approached about this subject, before even being engaged/married? I mean, I'm somewhat numb to it from my family, but his??!!
