In the space of 2 years my husband and I have 4 grandchildren. How delightful! Extended family members have added to the baby boom with more births and announcements. We ARE happy, but the constant round of showers, christenings, birthdays etc. is wearing thin. This is my 2nd marriage. I had one child when I was in my thirties in my first marriage because quite frankly, I was having a wonderful time in my career and traveling the world and wasn't remotely interested in motherhood until age 33. I'm/ we're happy and grateful for the healthy and happy babies but our enthusiam is waning. The family affairs with the screaming, crawling rug rats are something we find ourselves wanting to opt out of. It's just seems all too much. Anyone else honestly feel like distancing themselves from the fray?
