Share Your Babies

As a new mom I never wanted to make anyone feel like my children were a burden.  I always wanted the people whom I loved to enjoy my kiddos and never feel obligated to them.  As a result I never really shared my son with anyone.  I begged God to give me this little boy and he is the sweetest, nicest little man I could have been blessed with.  I wouldn’t ever ask grandmas and great-grandmas to babysit, unless I had to work, even though they offered.  My son was so easy to take with me that I never felt the need to ask for help.  Now that I have had my second child, it was brought to my attention that I am not good at sharing.  If your kids are as enjoyable to you as mine are, they will be just as enjoyable to your family and friends.  It is important to let the people in your life have time with your babies when you’re not around.  They need to spend quality time with people to build special relationships which they will always remember.  Don’t take advantage, just share.
