I think the best parents are the ones that question themselves all the time, and that can be a double edged sword, because if, if you're easily buffeted by by a gazillion different opinions and stances, you know you have to get strong and just go with your gut most of the time.
What happens when your kids grow up and leave the nest? Mary, a mother of three grown men, shares her heartfelt reflections on this very question. As a reporter for the family-run local newspaper, Mary has chronicled her sons' lives and now finds herself adjusting to a quieter home. In this episode of 'Birds In A Tree', she dives into the joys and challenges of parenting at every stage.
From the early days of constant chatter to navigating teenage breakups and health scares, Mary emphasizes the importance of communication. She believes in talking and listening to her children, fostering a bond that has only grown stronger over time. Beyond the family dynamics, Mary also touches on how the newspaper business has woven itself into their lives, shaping their experiences and her own writing journey.
Her stories are a treasure trove of life lessons, encouraging parents to trust their instincts and cherish each moment with their kids. Tune in to hear Mary's inspiring reflections and perhaps find a bit of your own parenting story in hers.
