Listen to this insightful Whinypaluza episode with Rebecca’s Mother-In-Law, Janeen Morris about motherhood, and all of its ups and downs and what it looks like from the other side when your kids are grown up and have children of their own. Here is what to expect on this week’s show: Janeen didn’t start off wanting to be a mother. It took getting married to start thinking about creating a family. Janeen and her husband had even looked at adoption. Her favorite thing about motherhood is watching her children grow and learn. Her love of seeing things through the lens of her children’s eyes. What does she attribute the success of her kids to? What was the toughest challenge for Janeen? Dealing with a childhood illness that required hospitalization. Janeen found herself doing research and advocating for her child, all while still working. Juggling opposing schedules with her husband and feeling like she was a single parent at times. The biggest lessons she learned as she was raising her kids. What would she have done differently if she could go back and do it all again? Janeen’s struggles with anxiety and how she handles it now. What does she think her greatest quality is as a mother? What does Janeen feel are the keys to a happy marriage? How did Janeen embark upon her 28-year career as a librarian? What is life like now that she is retired? What is the best advice she has ever gotten? Janeen’s advice to parents on how to decrease stress.   Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there!
