That's one reason I don't want to obsess as a grandparent: I want my son to know I trust him to parent his child, and that means hanging back as much as possible, waiting to be asked (for advice and help with the baby), and thinking about the needs he and his wife have that I can address without interfering.Kai Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319136737099550784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-90533464488912227402007-05-10T16:22:00.000-07:002007-05-10T16:22:00.000-07:00Congratulations Kai!

I'm still trying to make it through fatherhood in one piece.:)<BR/><BR/><BR/>I guess my lame joke about being a great grandmother (in the generational connotation, not the skills connotation) went down in flames. Sorry about that Kai.

I sometimes feel the urge to obsess, to subsume myself in this new relationship and personhood. It's hard to resist, but I don't want to be that person.Kai Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319136737099550784noreply@blogger.com
