Unexpected Responses

The news is getting out. Most people are simply delighted to know that there is baby in the future and they haven't gotten overly concerned with provenance.

Grandma didn't say congratulations, but she did say, "That's an unusual way to get a baby." In Grandma terms, it means it is going to be okay. She's just needs to wrap her mind around it. What a relief that she is not going to lecture about it.

Completely unexpectedly, a coworker, who only knows that I'm a single mother, said he would be willing to put his name as the father's name and pay child support. He was trying to be helpful, and I tried to decline in a sensitive fashion. I also told him that this is planned, and I'm happy about it. That seemed to rattle his brains. Poor guy.
