Then they give him back to me and I'm like "Oh, I have a baby!" I guess I'm still adjusting!

I love that my mom is a grandma before she'd fifty. I want that too. calsmom on "Do you ever forget you are a mom or dad?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-forget-you-are-a-mom-or-dad#post-290682 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 09:47:13 +0000 calsmom 290682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @pastemoo: Yes! I often say to my husband that I can't believe we have a kid. It's strange saying 'my son'. @Coco Bee: I sometimes envy those that have their kids at a younger age because they won't be so dang old when their kids are in college lol. I will be in my 50s when that happens, and that just scares me when I think about it!

It's kind of distancing to bring up your kids when someone is in their 20s, I think. autumnlove on "Do you ever forget you are a mom or dad?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-forget-you-are-a-mom-or-dad#post-290318 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:01:34 +0000 autumnlove 290318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, especially at work when I'm around my coworkers who don't have kids.

I always feel sooo bad asking my mom to babysit because she always has a lot going on esp with her health. And otherwise we have to pay $$ for a babysitter and that makes a simple date SO expensive! 5 hour date is $50 just for the sitter?! crazy. stargal on "Do you ever forget you are a mom or dad?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-forget-you-are-a-mom-or-dad#post-290308 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:53:52 +0000 stargal 290308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yup im still in shock im a mom. lol pinkcupcake on "Do you ever forget you are a mom or dad?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-forget-you-are-a-mom-or-dad#post-290287 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:33:58 +0000 pinkcupcake 290287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hahaha sometimes, yes.

Or do you not feel like a parent. Very often when I say "My son" I think "Oh my goodness, my son? That must mean I'm a mom. I don't feel like a mom." It catches me by surprise more often than not. (My LO is 3 months old.)
