Pink often means feminine for baby girl or females of any age. Mother love may also seem pink. As women go through the various stages of life including mother to a baby or to an adult daughter or son, we often wonder about how much attention can be too much. Often, we base our thinking on what our daughters or sons seem to need or want. We determine what a young child needs, but as the child becomes an adult and has children of their own, they seem to be more in charge of our relationship.
How much pink do they want in their lives, how much communication, how much together time: these thoughts come to mind. The older we both get, mother and child, the more complex the relationship. We remember the relationship with our own mom, but in many ways times have changed. Many people don't even live in the same state. Few people still live under the same roof. Long-distance phone calls and snail mail are mostly things of the past. We use smart phones and quick texts are more the norm.
We mothers and grandmothers have to adjust.
