I didn't have the urgent feeling that I had to have grandchildren. When my kids were ready I was thrilled. I would never have pressured them like some people do. I've always said that Christmas and Easter celebrations [the commercial ones that is] are all about children so I'm looking forward to when our baby understands these holidays. There's nothing like the excitement of a child on Christmas morning - I just wish I could be there to see it but perhaps that's a tad intrusive. I really have to be conscious not to smother my daughter and son-in-law. As my darling son said to them during the pregnancy, I could be their best friend if they want a baby sitter but worst enemy if they want privacy! To be honest I think he was only half joking. My daughter is really good at judging when visiting is convenient and strong enough to say no if it doesn't suit. I wish I had been - would have made life easier when I had 2 year old twins and a new baby.
I have worked as a teacher and in the disability field for years. I found this extremely fulfilling and enjoyable. However since I became a jamma I have decided to change directions and give myself more freedom as well as become my own boss. It's scarey but exciting to change my focus. And the focus? Well it's baby related.
