Oh for Christ's sake, they're only 13!

RANT

Sooo lucky me is at the OBGYN today for extensive testing. And since I got a morning appointment, there is a lot of people here for family planning. So there's toddlers running around the waiting room. I don't mind too much, the very of existence of children doesn't bother me. They aren't being noisy, they're just bored. Understandable, I'm fucking bored too. Nah, what really irritated me was grandma.

One pregnant woman had to bring her toddler with to the appointment, so she brought grandma with to keep the kid entertained in the waiting room. All the other woman are obviously being gooey eyed over the baby, as I'm pretty sure I'm the only woman here who isn't pregnant. And grandma is just soaking up the praise.

At one point someone asks if the baby is her great grandchild. Grandma corrects them and informs them that they're just a grandchild, no great ones yet as the oldest one is only 13. One of the woman laughs and tells her "oh so just five more years then!" Then they went into a conversation about the potential great grand babies... ugh

  1. THEY'RE ONLY 13. They don't need to be thinking about that yet!

  2. Why do you want them to become a parent at freshly 18?! That's so irresponsible!

It's like people don't even care about their own kids after they stop being a baby... "okay you've served your purpose, now make me more babies."
