Chapter 5.29

We're back from our trip! It's been lovely and totally refreshing. And it's Russ' birthday on the day we got back! Yayyyy. We bought his favorite cake and celebrated just amongst us (cos we're still recovering from jetlag). While having our cakes, he said, "Mom, do you know Alice? She's been here a lot when grandma's not around... is she a stranger or someone of our relatives?"

Russ is a bit chatty just like Rob, but I love how he could feed me information in proper sentence. Anyway. Alice coming over huh. When grandma's not around! How sneaky! So I confronted Rams thereafter.

Rams: Alice is my girlfriend...
Me: You know that you have to work hard because you're going to college soon! I don't like your girl coming over sneakily...
Rams: Who told you this? Russ? Grandma?
Me: It doesn't matter! You can bring her over here and introduce her to us, maximum once a week! Now's the time for you to concentrate on your study and pick the college and major you want.
Rams: You know what mom? I'm probably skipping college just like you did. I wanna marry her and start my own painting business.
Me: What???!
Rams: You heard me right mom. She's a lovely girl and she...
Me: Is she pregnant?
Rams: No mom I swear. We haven't done anything she's innocent and so am I.
Me: Bring her to us this weekend.

So Alice came during the weekend. Seems nice, but really young. Barely 17! I'm just afraid that they're too in love without realizing what is lying in front of them. After she left, the three of us had the conversation.

Is: Rams, we're against you getting married anytime soon. It's just not right, Alice is barely 17!
Rams: What do you know dad? You failed your marriage once!
Is: RAMSTADT!
Rams: I really love her, okay dad? I've barely had any attention from both of you, Alice has been taking care of me a lot! All you're about is another baby girl another sister! The hell with it! Aren't the four of us enough already?
Me: Ramsy you HAVE TO understand! We have a legacy to continue here.
Rams: Legacy? Without caring what actually matters more here mom? Really?
Is: Don't talk to your mom like that Ramstadt! We will not be supportive no matter what. If you really have to marry at such young age, please go ahead because we have no more space for you and your future family, nor the money.

And Ramsy just walked away... Too much for a jetlagged pregnant woman to take, really... Shits always happened when I'm pregnant...
