I’m a grizzled old ex-hippy who has been blessed with a great-grandson [he’s 15 months now]. What a shear joy it is to have a baby in your life. I congratulate you on your beautiful child and wish you the very best.</p> Greetings Ms. Flowers,

At the end of the day, depending what is on docket, it is a sigh of relief when he goes home…but then I miss him when he is gone. I am constantly praying for the future of our youth. They deserve to have a chance for a happy and successful life.</p> I so enjoy having him like I do.

Rashad is my godchild. I guess that is one way to look at it about working. Maybe I would feel differently if I had him all the time…I just have him in the afternoons and early evenings four days a week. I am sure that he is going to be a handful…he is spoiled already at five weeks old!</p> Thanks! Rashad is my godchild. I guess that is one way to look at it about working.

Now what will be on your mind? lol bet it will feel good not to have to worry about details like you have to when MOB. It will go off like a dream, the weather looks good, enjoy! </p> <p>The west coast contingent here just tuning in. DeVeria, if you are still online, was thinkng GodMommy must be sort of like Grandmommy, you get to enjoy to the max then give back to Mom and go off with a smile.?? That part will come later — new baby just fun and sweetness, older baby is fun but more intense and the handing back is sometimes a huge relief!! But babies are the best fun in the world and need every adult possible cooing and caring for them. You are right, it is a difficult world to bring children into, and even though they have been saying that for a couple thousand years, it seems truer now somehow. May Rashad live long in a world in which peace and sanity have becomr the norm.</p> Demi, it has been fun hearing about your MOB / wedding activities.

I was a working mom, 25 years ago. First to one child, then two, then three (in 4 years!). While on maternity leave, then a small time between jobs, I was a stay-at-home mother. And let me tell you from experience, staying home with babies/children is much harder. I often said I was glad to get back to work so I could get some rest. And yes, I had a rather stressful job. But compared to being a stay-at-home mother? Piece of cake!</p> <p>By the way, is that picture of you and your baby? That baby is SO CUTE! You will have your hands REALLY full when he can walk (and run). I can see the mischief in his eyes already! LOL</p> “Working moms and dads, how do you do it?”
