So, Perfect Husband’s birthday was this weekend, and accordingly, he recieved a card from his parents. The note from my FIL who, as you may remember, is prone to quirky cards, read:
Stay loving and please realize that we loved you so very much when you arrived after we thought we had our family number set. We are grateful that you sneaked in.
…Did he just say “We love you even though you were a mistake”?
If By Yes 
Um.
Yes?
Yes. Yes he did. That sounds like my MIL.
TOO FUNNY.
Incidentally, I think I saw your FIL at Chapters in Bayers Lake yesterday. He was on his way out of the store before I realized why he looked so familiar.
Cool!
Yup, sure sounds like it. That’s messed up. Is he hinting that you would regret it if Babby was an only child? Or just that clueless?
Nah, I think he honestly thought he was saying something sweet and loving :-p
It IS sweet, really. It could have been “we regret you”, after all!
PH has always known that he (and most of his siblings, honestly) was unplanned. So he’s not hurt, just amused.
When Mike’s mom told him he had been unplanned, she sat him down (I think he was a teenager at the time) and was all serious, and worried about how he would take it. He rolled his eyes and said, “yeah, Mom, I kind of figured seeing as there is 7 years between me and my sister.”
Yeah, PH is the youngest by 5 years. His oldest brother when in high school when he was born. But he finds comfort in not being the only “surprise”. He’s pretty sure MOST of his siblings were “surprises”.
Hee, hee! Too funny!
