My Daughter in Law just went into labor, my son is at the hospital. They will be living with us for the next year. Do I need to go to the hospital today or should I just wait for them to come home? Of course Mrs. AH is pissed just because I asked.

Wait until tomorrow. The last thing a brand new mom wants is being bombarded with visitors. Give her some time to rest and clean up then keep the visit short.
If they're living with you for the next year you'll get to see them plenty.

it's a must to see the baby all grimed up and blue. it builds character and increases empathy.

Send flowers. They will have enough visitors.
If they come home without the vase, raise holy hell. |

They started inducing last night, she had her epidural about an hour ago and they are speeding up the process.
1) yes, unplanned pregnancy 2) son just out of college- not a pot to piss in. 3) our home is large w/ a separate wing and is 5 minutes from his work 4) I'm not very empathetic as it is and will just have visions of my savings dwindling away |

so, there is no health insurance covering the baby?
yep, the dwindling savings thing is very likely who's paying for all the prenatal and hospital costs ? |

you will be her best friend if you bring her a little baggie of candy bars, gum, lip balm, pretzels, etc.
in a monogramed bag. take it to her 24 hours after she drops the load. |

Go now! NOW! You'll get to see your daughter-in-law's naughty bits.
They'll never take that away from you. Hell, I'm thinking about going too. |

Stop asking. Do as you please, then defend yourself if necessary. It's the asking that pissed women off.
The candy, etc is a great idea - nothing with a size or a mirror. |

bring her a little baggie of candy bars, gum, lip balm, pretzels, etc. Oh, for the love of God. No father-in-law in the entire history of the human fucking race would ever even consider doing that. Bring cash. You're a grandfather now. You need to start handing out the cash indescriminately. |

believe me, the cash is flowing like a severed artery. I'm staying home to groom my shedding husky (full blowout). Maybe I'll stuff a pillow for the
new lad.

Congrats on being a grampa. Sounds like that's the only part of this you're gonna enjoy.

I've got about 20 pounds of smelly german shepherd hair I could toss in. Who has a loom?

We also just adopted an 8 week old mastiff, in 6 months she will equal 3 CBR's, thanks for the thought, though.

I wish I'd have known about this dog hair donation train. I trimmed my Golden down for her summer cut last week. It had to be at least 20 pounds of fluff.
