As I said, it was a weekend full of talking. Such a change for me since in Rome I spend time mainly on my own or with Gaia talking about dolls and balloons. But I have one reflection to share. I notice more and more that now, when most of us are parents, it's considered to be cool to avoid kid-talking. I hear it mostly from guys (fathers by the way) who definitely think it's not cool. Let me express myself then. I consider that kids take a lot of our time (for some parents less, for some more) and it is natural to want to talk about them. I, as a mother, who cannot talk to my own mum, feel very lucky being surrounded by so many girlfriends-mums. These talks mean so much to me. Sharing, comparing, advising, getting inspired... Of course I try avoiding that kind of talking when kid-less people are around. Of course I want to talk about anything else too: cinema, work, weather, travels. But I do not agree with thinking that I am not cool if I want to speak about kids!
Dedicated to my dear friends S. and P.:)

I never said that I do not want to talk about kids... just maybe not all the bloody time ;)
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand I am not sure if you noticed, all we do is talk about kids ;)
