My mom has wanted a grandchild since I got married 15 years ago. (Though honestly? She's probably wanted a grandchild since I was BORN.)
I do not understand wanting to be pregnant or have babies or raise them. At all. I know why, for me, anyway. The thought of being pregnant squicks me out like whoa, and then you have small humans dependent on you for everything, and I really don't want people being dependent on me. Cats are about the most dependency I can handle.
I have a lot of thoughts on my ambivalence to this child and my mom's reaction, which will be a separate, longer, locked post.
