[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 114221, member: 1514"] MWM... Honey, have you not heard the old saying about daughters are daughters for the rest of their life but sons are our sons till they take a wife? This is the normal progression of things. Your son that is having the baby is naturally going to turn inward toward his new family. It doesnt mean that he doesnt still love all of you. Its just the grown birdie leaving the nest and starting a new nest of his own. Fran had excellent advice about leaving the other kids behind and going to help out for a week or so when the baby is born. We were lucky enough that my daughter in law had a scheduled C-section so that we could all stay in their apartment when she was in the hospital. Boy was it crowded too with me, husband, cory, and keyana! When I went up again when the baby was home from the hospital I went with just my oldest son to help out. Being the parent of grown kids is different than parenting young ones. You have to watch from the sidelines. They still need us but in different ways. [/QUOTE]
