I know it is my daughters life

Can I still have a hug? Okay today is my 45th birthday, I am in Utah visiting a friend and it is fun. I got a call from my daughter who is 21 and just just moved out again on her own, and she is pregnant. Okay, I am sure she will get mature really dang fast, learn to wake up in the morning and actually cook meals for once.

To be all about me in this I am barely supporting myself and the other 2 kids, she is barely on her feet, the father is a good guy we have known for years but he is affected deeply by trying to work and work enough and earn enough, you know the drill of the younger people.

And ya know what has got me? It is my birthday and the recent ex did not say happy birthday, I shouldn't expect it. All the things we talked about like looking forward to grandchildren is gone, he is so good with little kids. He had his first child at 17 and he could be such a good person for this. I was at the airport today (he travels a lot) and I had this hope maybe I would see him. Crazy and of course it didn't happen.

    Call him and tell him the news. See how he reacts. If he doesn't take the hint right away, let him know the daughter could really use some help with the baby. It wouldn't even necessarily cost him anything. Just help watching the baby.
    I hope you're still enjoying your vacation.

    Thank you for the bday wishes. I am getting ready to hike in Moab. I sent message to the ex BF and I will give it a few days before seeing if he responds (didn't tell him just said I knew he cared about my daughter and wished I could talk to him).

    Okay, off to hike and think about how I am waaay too young and fabulous to be a grandma
