Believe me, once they learn to say "NO" I get twinges of anxiety. Ahhh, the pleasures of raising a strong willed child.
Mutt,I can't do the whole day thing anymore. I don't want to babysit for hours on hours. I did it from 11yrs old for sibs and for spending money. You are all really kind grandmothers to take on the role of sitting for the grandkids for hours and days.
Katmom, I may just have to visit your grand baby sometime soon.
Baby brother is a newlywed. So there is always a possibility. Maybe we will finally get a girl in the Mrs. Fran family. With three aunts(older than my brother), she will never need to buy girly stuff.
All that is cute but I'm really experiencing a more deep seated primitive longing. I always called it Empty Womb Syndrome. I assume it is natures way. How else do you explain getting pregnant with the second,third,fourth.
Janna, I'm so happy to have grown kids who drive. Believe me
I wouldn't go back to those years. It was a new experience but I wouldn't want a repeat.
Maybe it is as dreamer says a sense of hope and the promise of life? Who knows?
Anyhow,I'm sure it will pass(like a kidney stone)
