5 upcoming milestones in our son’s life I’m not ready to handle
Milestones are made to remember, cherish, and enjoy forever, but when you’re a mother of a son, some of those milestones are met with bittersweetness. While you’re excited to see him grow, you’re also sad to let him go. After all, it’s the little boy you held so tightly in your arms. These are 5 such milestones.
Key Takeaways:
- I’ve always been a dude that’s in touch with his emotions, but becoming a father has really liberated my inner sap.
- I suspect this will be even more intense and soul-shattering for us since we’re not very good at cutting the proverbial apron strings.
- I predict that my wife and I will be so sad, in a happy sort of way, that we’ll commit ourselves to a mental hospital on the drive back to help us deal with the loss.
“Being the father of a 2-year-old boy has made me the kind of maudlin, sentimental crybaby who gets teary-eyed over just about everything, and not just the milestones we’re expected to shed tears over.”
