As I navigate the journey of motherhood, I find myself shifting my focus to the joy of witnessing my children’s growth. Each day, they become a bit more self-sufficient, their legs stretching longer before my eyes. While it’s comforting to be needed, the freedom of not being relied upon constantly is even more fulfilling. As my kids mature, I discover more opportunities to pursue my own interests and passions beyond the role of a mom.
I’m making a conscious effort to persuade my ovaries against the idea of having another child. Perhaps in two decades, I’ll be lucky enough to hold a grandchild and indulge in the delight of purchasing tiny outfits for them. This might explain why grandparents tend to shower their grandchildren with affection and gifts—it’s their long-awaited baby fix being fulfilled.

In summary, as I embrace the evolving independence of my children, I also revel in the space it creates for my own aspirations. The longing for another baby may wane, but the prospect of someday becoming a grandmother offers a sweet anticipation.
