Funny. The mother is not thrilled and called it “tied down again” while John apparently enjoyed the first children’s babyhoods he’s getting excited. Well, as a mother, I know most women do the raising hence the “I’ll be tied down again”. It frustrated me so that my husband was always the fun parent. He worked the evening shift so our sons did not see much of him growing up and when he came home, they were excited to see him, happy he was home and they did things together. Me? Nah. I was just the nag. Still true today even though both sons are all grown up, and one is married with children of his own. Now HIS children think I am a fun grandma. I gotta find condolences in that.
