Question about being a mom

Ali N Wonderland on Children, Life, Pregnant, Moms, Grandma, Family

Question when all of your children become adults do you stop being a mommy and just become a mother? Are you needed as much, or will you be placed to the side and only needed when they want money?
My last child just turned 18 years old and even though she lives at home and is 31 weeks pregnant and still in school in the eyes of the world she is an adult. So has my role changed all of a sudden?
I know I don't have empty nest feelings but I do have a lost feeling inside of me, she is my baby and now she is an adult having her own baby. Is it worry, or maybe I am sad that even though she is an adult she is having a child that will soon be living under my roof as well.
Maybe I am upset because I feel like my time to just be with my husband has been kind of lost since there will be a newborn to add to my family, don't get me wrong I am excited about becoming a grandma, I am just confused and a little sad that my children are no longer just my babies anymore, they are adults. Thanks

Well I got pregnant at the age of 19, I know my mother was also upset with me way back then because I'm still in college and they're expecting a lot from me and suddenly I've disappointed them. After a while, when my kids were already in their kindergarten, I continued studying until I graduated in college. And now I also have two teenagers already, of course I'm also afraid that they might do the same thing that I have done, which is getting pregnant at the early stage, but then, I can tell how my mother was so proud of me by raising my kids very well, and in return my kids are bringing so many prides in the family like winning in the National contests. Don't get so upset because you'll never know what will comes next, you're daughter might be one of the best mother in the world and you'll gonna have one the smartest grandchild which will make you a very proud grandma, you'll just have to wait.

I just learned one thing about motherhood. You never stop being a mother. No matter how fiercely independent and so dependent your daughter is, teach her, love her and support her. Enjoy every moment with you child. We too, want to have our own little time with our spouse, we just make a schedule and adjust, definitely a grown-up child will understand. Congratulations and more power.
