Ok - I have to add a story. I preface it with "I love my mum dearly" but.... the other day an uni friend who is now living in the US was visiting Australia. I haven't seen or talked to him for more than a year. He accidentally rang my mum's number and said to her "it's great news about Bridget". He was referring to the fact I am engaged. My mum, however, jumped to another conclusion and demanded to know what news (thinking I would tell a friend I hardly speak to before I tell her) and then, after being disappointed he was only referring to the engagement, launched into a 20 minute conversation with him about how I had been trying to conceive forever!
