*Clinton News-Bacon:I,: Thursday, January 13, 1972-3
This is the Season for babies.
Maybe when the nation was
informed that the first lady,
Margaret Trudeau was expecting
a far Ply, everyone decided to
get on the bandwagon, Maybe
with the high cost of living,
everybody . contemplating a
family decided to aim for the
New Year's Day baby in their
community so they could cash
in.
I don't know what the reason
is, but everyone is having a baby
— and for once in my life, I'm
not sorry that I'm out of style.
Don't get me wrong. I love
babies, particularly babies which
belong to other people. Ask
anyone who knows me. I think
babies are great, and women
who dig babies should have a
house full of them.
Not long ago, my
brother-in-law and his wife came
to our house with their
two-month-old son. My teenage
daughter nearly lost her mind
with joy when she saw the little
tyke arriving. She grabbed the
blue bundle and unwrapped it as
carefully as she would handle
her very last pair of pantyhose
and exclaimed, "Oh, mom, this
is just what we need. A baby!"
"You've got to be out of your
skull," I told her, hardly
believing my ears, "Me? Have
another baby? At my age?"
"Why not?" my daughter
asked between goofing and
cooing at her infant cousin,
"Aren't babies wonderful? So
soft and so little?"
"But they grow up," I
warned. "I've had three babies,
and everyone of them has grown
into a monster within a year. As
babies, you kids were adorable.
As creeping crawling toddlers,
you nearly drove me to insanity.
As teenagers, you are costing
your father and me a king's
ransom. And now you want us
to start the whole vicious circle
over again?"
She undressed our little guest
as gently as any new mother
would. In fact, she was so intent
about undressing the child that
she didn't notice his father and
mother hauling in the young
man's baggage.
There was a suitcase for clean
clothes and a bag for soiled
I SOLD IT
THROUGH THE
WANT ADS
clothes; there was a food sack;
and there was a bed filled almost
to the brim with assorted articles
necessary to the care and feeding
of the average, well-spelled
modern baby,
How well I remembered that
part of child rearing. An
over-night visit to grandma's
house was a major move. And as
the child grew older, there was a
playpen, a walker, a jolly
jumper, a stroller, a car seat
which doubled as a high chair
it took a large trunk to
accommodate all the baby's
luggage and made it imperative
for mom and dad to pack
everything they both needed
into an overnight bag.
You think I'm kidding don't
you? You think it would be a
simple matter to put mom and
dad's bags in the back seat of the
car. Guess again.
Our back seat was always
reserved for baby and his
travelling companions — the
teddy bear so he could go to
steep, two or three other favorite
toys, a couple of blankets, a
pillow, a few diapers for
emergency clean-ups, a plastic
container containing a little
water and a washcloth for spills
and accidents.
That's right. Our overnight
case sat squashed between the
two of us on the front seat along
with the baby's car seat which
usually hung there just in case
His Majesty wanted a change in
scenery,
I remember one trip when our
suitcases did go in the back seat
with junior who kept himself
amused by poking into anything
and everything he could find
which was openable. That was
the time he spread my husband's
shaving cream all over himself
and the car before we noticed
anything was amiss.
I must have had a glassy stare
on my face as my mind flashed
back to all these hideous
memories of child rearing. I
must also have developed an
appearance of panic for I heard
my daughter saying:
"I was only kidding, mom.
Don't get so upset about it. We
can get along without another
baby. It is just that this baby is
so sweet and I just thought that
we "
"As far as I'm concerned," I
concluded, "this baby or any
other visiting baby is as welcome
as spring flowers in my house
any time. And you, my dear
daughter, may get your kicks
from babysitting with infants
and toddlers until you have your
own youngsters to care for, But
don't count on me to give you
that kind of pleasure ever again.
I've had my day, thank
heavens."
