“We haven’t seen you since you had the baby.”
Yeah… because you expect me to come to you.
Packing up a baby isn’t simple.
It’s diapers.
Bottles.
Outfits.
Timing naps.
Hoping they don’t lose it the second we leave.
It’s not “just stop by” anymore.
Meanwhile…
you can get in your car and come to us.
But somehow, it always falls on the new mom.
After a while, it doesn’t feel like you miss us,
it feels like you expect access on your terms.
If you really wanted to see me…
you’d show up.
Relationships go both ways.
Even after I became a mom.
