What happens when a seasoned parent meets their grandchild for the first time—and realizes that parenting doesn’t come with a manual, even the second time around?
Kate Mason shares a raw, heartfelt, and often humorous reflection on her first four weeks as a brand-new grandparent.
From revisiting the sleep-deprived fog of early parenthood to navigating the emotional nuances of supporting her daughter without overstepping, Kate offers a deeply personal and relatable take on the chaos and beauty of life with a newborn.
She reflects on the unique challenges new parents face, the delicate art of offering help (without offering advice), and how her own memories of motherhood have shifted now that her child has a child.
