They told me becoming a grandmother is wonderful, because you can enjoy the baby without the worry.
They told me, “you can give it back to its parents whenever you get tired”.
Well, it turns out you fall deeply, madly, in love all over again, just as you did with your own children.
Turns out, you need a constant reminder that this baby is NOT yours.
Now let’s get to the worry part;
As a mother, you never stop worrying about your children, no matter the age.
So now I worry about my child worrying about his child, (so basically the worry has compounded).
When it comes to giving back the baby,
the truth is, that part sucks; really sucks!
Be prepared to have your heart melt with love and toughen with worry, as you celebrate the all encompassing experience of a new human joining your tribe!
Motherhood changes women in many ways and it’s great that your wife has your support emotionally and physically ✨ Self care and nurturing are vital for women as they navigate the first couple of years of motherhood where they tend to forget themselves!
