SIL Complaint
So this is BIL's wife who says she can't give up drinking for 9 month's to have a baby. Her latest and greatest moment was telling me they may start trying the end of this year. Ok no problem until she said that her H and her family were ready but she isn't sure if she is ready to give up her youth yet.
Insert jaw drop here! We are the same age and BIL is H's older brother. She currently has a great job which she has worke at for over 5 years. She just got her Master's, they own their own home, and have been married almost 3 years. It's not like they are 21!
Everyone says to not let it bother me but I hate how she talks bad about parenting and makes it act like the end of the world.
End Rant!

Re: SIL Complaint
I think before you have a baby, it is a little scary to think about how much your life will change. You don't know how much love and joy a baby will bring you, until you actually have your own, so her "youth" and going out is all she knows right now.
I'm pretty young, and thought about that before getting pregnant, but now that I have him, I couldn't care less about going out.
I know being a new mama, it sounds like a slap in the face to hear her say that, and I hope she matures before they try for a baby.
Her family pretty much controls their life or her life anyway. Holidays are arranged around what they do. They even rush over on Christmas morning before 6 am because her little brother is like 7 and still believes in Santa. So they all still get presents and she has to be there before he wakes up so they can all get their presents. She is the oldest and her brother and sister are older too, one is in her 20's and the other is in high school. She also thinks she knows all things babies because her brother is 7 and she babysat him a lot.
