Hmm... Janey brings up an interesting point... I do think of D as my child, just not myself as his "mom," does that make any sense? He'll always be my firstborn child. In some ways the relationship I have with him is similar to the relationship I have with my other two... without the baggage of being the one who changed his diapers, etc. (that doesn't mean there isn't baggage!) We are all adults and I (the wise elder, HA!) don't offer unsolicited advice to any of them. (Much as I'm tempted!) Although I must admit I do slip a bit with my raised kids!
