We had Easter dinner with the inlaws and SD(26) last night. It was a very nice evening, I get along with everyone and I'm treated like one of the family.

We are chatting after dinner and out of no where SD says that BM said they should freeze her eggs! What???
Yep, BM said we should freeze your eggs because I want to be a grandma someday, and sooner than later.

SD is 26, just graduating Uni and is going to travel Europe this summer. (Yes, we know this could be dangerous but she's a grown woman who has traveled and wants to do more, that alone is another blog.)
She doesn't have a boyfriend and isn't interested in finding a man. She wants to see the world and find herself, her words.

Grandma actually burst out laughing, DH and I were kind of shocked. I said, that's insane, you have plenty of time to have kids. SD said I know, it's not like I'm 40!!!

Then she said she wasn't even sure she wanted to have kids. She said it quietly, testing the waters and waiting for our reaction.
DH said it's your life and your choice, we can't live it for you.
I said no worries, your brother will have 6 if his GF gets her way. And we all laughed.

Then SD said BM told her she was being selfish and that she'd better have grandchildren for her!

Who says that to their child??? It's always about her and what she wants.

DH and I discussed it on the way home. SD is very, very close to her mom and usually does what BM tells her to do, thinking BM has her best interests at heart.
DH said he could tell that SD was upset by what BM said but didn't want us to see just how upset. The fact that she shared the whole conversation with us is a sign of that. She wanted our opinions and wanted to know if we also felt that she owed us grandchildren.

I really hope that SD doesn't end up with some guy who she doesn't really love but feels the need to have children with, just because her mom wants grandchildren.
