I'm about to tell my own mother about the September due baby of her first great grandchild. She lives some distance away.
My daughter has not really planned for this baby (although much wanted), she only finishes Univ this year, her partner has only just got his first job, and they have yet to be living independently together- though that will happen in a couple of months and they will be living nearer to my mother than to me. I myself am really looking forward to my first grandchild.
My mother is quite a judgemental person and I'm not looking forward to this conversation!
Any ideas from anyone's similar situation?
How much do you spend on yourself?
