[quote=Anonymous]It's not your place to lecture her, or somehow make her feel inferior in wisdom. But you can ask leading questions and voice your concerns in a very loving and respectful manner. This is what my older best friend does with me - she's a born diplomat. For example, I would ask whether having a child in common will now mean that they will share childcare duties all together. And express relief that this might be so. I entirely understand that they started out blending their family with a separation of parental duties in mind. They must have been afraid of dumping more childcare on one parent more than the other. Now things will have to change with a baby in common, and maybe that's exactly what they want, and it is their first deliberate stop towards sharing more responsibility. So don't go in thinking their current plan is crappy, or that they don't know what they're getting into. Start a conversation from a place of respect. [/quote]
