PS Barbara and I shared an interesting chat about when our kids were born. Without your prompt we would probably never have had that vital chat. I learnt things I should have known (e.g. about Barbara's experiences and mine alongside) and we also chatted about the dad's role and perspective (although there isn't always a dad, if you know what I mean, which presents a whole other area of discussion). So the true stories / experiences you shared matter and helped - thx again

Its so good to have these conversations, it continually shows me how differently we experience things, and also how much we can innocently assume other peoples experience is the same as mine! 💜🙏💜

Thx for this double Debs (although I note the difference in spelling I'm also aware that, perhaps, there may be a preference to be called Debs, aye Debs) Apologies but I am probably going to go off on one now ... even more. Talking to yourself is a bit like that - unless one's attention is required elsewhere by the apparent all-else that appears to be. Anyway, as a grandad and having spent a few years on this precious little planet, the 3Ps and the experience of birth had not occurred to me in this relative detail. That is particularly so from the mother's perspective and the principles of life, either misunderstood or understood. So, naturally, the father's (and now the grandparenting) perspective is coming just that little bit closer into focus for me. It is a vital story which needs to be told (but not by me). BTW the apparent fact that very few if any of 'us' are able to recall being born may not be that surprising. However, what may seem surprising is that men still seem to struggle to 'get in touch with' their emotions. It is also, perhaps, a generational thing in that the baby boomer generation may seem to feel a sense of embarrassment talking about such things. Perhaps times have changed and the male gender may be evolving ... as, apparently, are we all. Also, speaking as one who has been married for 50+ years, I am able to observe a few things. One of those things (unrelated to marital or partnership status) is that although times have changed, minds may still seem to be stuck in thunk-up confusion of past or future. As for me, the thunk-up present suits me just fine. Love from Kefalonia xx
