My fiance John and I are getting in a month. We want children as soon as possible. We have been living together for over two years now. We are financially and emotionally ready. John already has a two year old son, Lucas; and he shares custody of Lucas with his ex-girlfriend Laura. I have been with John since before Lucas was born, and I have had a large part in raising him. However, I KNOW that doesn't make me a mother, or ready to be one.
Laura keeps making comments like "Are you sure you and John will be able to afford Lucas's child support if you have a baby?" (She doesn't even know we're trying!!!) Not to mention that *I* don't pay her child support, but whatever. She keeps asking when we plan on having kids, and she's told friends that she wants to "beat us" in having kids. Dude, WHO CARES?!?!? It's not a race!!
How do I deal with her insidious comments? I can't avoid her, and I don't want to argue with her in front of Lucas.
