My Grandfather just e-mailed me....

a list of links to different cribs and asked me to let him know which one H and I want.  Yup, that would be cribs for my UNCONCEIVED, IMAGINARY baby.  *beats head on desk* 

Apparently our conversation about babies yesterday went in one ear and out the other?

  • Oh wow that's awesome!

  • Oh..hmm.  Maybe it is sweet.

    I immediately read it in the semi passive-aggressive way that my grandfather would mean it: "I'm pretending that I didn't hear you say you don't want kids right now, and trying to guilt trip/bully you into providing me with a grandchild."

  • I think it's a little bit of both, actually.  He genuinely wants to do something nice for us, but at the same time I think he may be bored and anxious for something to look forward to so he's being pushy.  It's funny because I never thought he would be one of the pushy ones I would need to worry about!

  • Well, I do think it's sweet to offer to buy a crib, in general.  Like...if you were pregnant.  So, it is definitely a mix.  And may not be passive-aggressive or pushy at all, just sweet.

  • Maybe I'm an ungrateful ahole, but this would actually piss me off. A lot.

  • If I thought my father would a) shop for cribs online and b) send me some options, he would probably only send me blue ones. He's obsessed with getting a little boy. He gets my niece boy toys. My brother and SIL are expecting again and he keeps telling them it had better be a boy. Every once in a while he bugs me about if we're going to have any. And for SD's birthday, thank God my stepmom intervened. He almost bought SD a navy blue Tigers windbreaker outfit. SM made him get the pink one so it was at least a little girly.
