My son, the adult

Rate this Entry
My boyfriend works with his father and sometimes watching them makes me wonder about when my son will be an adult. I don't want to be one of those parents that treats him like a kid when he isn't anymore. But it must be weird when you're used to him being a small baby or a small child, dependent on you, to not really needing you anymore. I will have changed his diapers, and breastfed him, rocked him to sleep, fed him his first bites, watched him start walking and talking, and one day he will be my age and have a life as an adult. Even now I go to do stuff for him sometimes and he reminds me he can do it himself. And I'm like "oh..yeah." It'll be weird when he grows up.

Anyways, I guess I don't have to worry about it for a long time :P.

    Just part of being a parent. You should ask the dads and mums on this forum how they felt.

    It flies by. I feel like it was only an hour ago that she was a baby... And couldn't talk.. She was so sweet back then.. Not a fussy baby, went to sleep on a set schedule... And now? This kid has an -iPad-, knows how to use a cell phone, can be a major smartass.... lol And she starts Kindergarten in the Fall. ;_; She's totally Miss Independent, though we still snuggle up in bed at night for a little while and sing our lullaby and she still carries her "circle blankie" & bunny everywhere.
