My lovely DD2 is expecting her first in a few weeks. She and her dh have lived with us for the last few years and finally moved into their own home a week ago (she has redecorated with DH's help and unpacked already..nesting!)
They are just 20 mins walk away, which is lovely as my eldest is a doctor 300 miles away and my no 2 went to Australia just before lockdown to be with his Aussie fiancee.. God I miss him, but he's happy and that's what matters! DS2 has autism will always live with us and is very excited to be an uncle soon!
I'm going to be helping with childcare when DD2's maternity ends as she and her Dh are nurses and I work part time in Special School.
I want to be supportive and am totally aware that it is their baby, their lives, and do not want to be the interfering mum/MIL. At the same time I know what a hell of a shock the reality of a baby is, and want to help as much as I can.
Any tips? (I'm new here having just hopped over from Mumsnet where I've been for many years)
