Cuaditch In Character

Benefits of being the black sheep of the family:

1) I'm not the one my mother constantly harps on about settling down and having grandchildren.

2) Of course, there's the extra bonus that even if I wasn't the black sheep she'd still be owling him constantly, since he's the one to "carry on the name" and all that rot. Honestly, good luck finding anyone who'd bloody want the name

Downsides of one's mother apparently finally starting to learn to exist as a separate entity from one's father:

1) She starts asking why you're almost thirty and not steadily seeing a "suitable young man".


The above thoughts brought to by an early morning [...] discussion of said lacks of settling down and reminding one's mother that one is also interested in women, "suitable" or otherwise.
