My mom is going to be 50 next month, I am married and almost 26. My wife and I are trying to have our first baby and my mom has mentioned that she is too young to be someone's grandma.
She says that she doesn't feel like she has the time to be a grandma because she likes to hang out with her friends. Now she has a new boyfriend so we rarely see her.
I don't want her to take care of my baby, I just was hoping she would be a grandma to my kid since my dad is dead. (My parents were divorced)
I am her only child so my kid will be her only grandchild. I know I can't force her to be a grandma if she doesn't want to be one, but what do I do?
Can't she live her life AND be a grandma? I don't need her help with my family, I just wanted her to be somewhat involved. Maybe visit the baby a few times a month?
She doesn't say this because she is concerned about me: she wasn't into being a mom when I was a kid because she spent a lot of time with boyfriends.
What do you think?
