[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I planned to have a child in two years, at which point we believe we'll have a house and fewer goddamn student loans to pay off. Since I left for college my mom has been eagerly awaiting her first grandchild, and can't wait to meet him/her. She loves kids and they love her, so we were all super excited to have grandma around to help out once we have a baby. Unfortunately, my mother has been diagnosed with cancer, and there's a very slim chance she'll even be alive in two years. I want to try and get pregnant now, so our child and my mom will get to meet each other. It would be a strain for a little while, but in the end I think we can overcome that part. My husband and father (not married to my mom) both say we shouldn't speed up our family for my mom's sake and it will only cause resentment and stress. My mom says I should do whatever makes me happy, but I can tell she's devastated by her prognosis in part because I don't have kids yet. Can anyone offer some input here? Thanks, and happy holidays![/quote]
