Lessons from a child-free sister

Several years ago on a visit to our home, my “thirtysomething” sister Linda “Pert” Shetler, women’s athletic director and coach at Goshen College volunteered to rock the tenmonth old to sleep. Ten minutes passed, 20. Is she having trouble getting Doreen to sleep, I wondered? Finally, after 30 minutes, Pert emerged, serene. “Did you have a problem getting her to sleep?” I asked cautiously. “Oh, I was just enjoying rocking my ’last’ baby,” she smiled, referring to the fact that no more nieces or nephews were anticipated in our extended family. How long had it been since I lingered while rocking a baby to sleep, relishing the intimacy of a sleeping child? Too often the moments I did manage to spend rocking were impatient: why won’t she go to sleep? I could be doing so many important things. Although I don't recall her ever offering outright advice, my sister has unwittingly taught me many other lessons about parenting and I thought it might be fun to share them for “Mother’s Day.” 1. It’s okay to get tired of being a parent. When Pert comes to visit for several days, she takes the children on walks, reads books until she’s hoarse, and roughhouses on the floor. When she leaves she says, “I have my mothering instincts fulfilled for awhile.” Strangely, I feel the same way sometimes, but can't drive off after a brief visit! 2. Mothers aren't the only ones who are hurried and work long hours. As a field hockey and basketball coach and athletic director, Pert works frequently until at least 1 in the morning, is gone almost every evening and many weekends. The next time one of the children wakes us up at Courtney to receive degree Michelle Courtney, a 1985 graduate of Wawasee High School, will receive a bachelor of science degree from the University of Indianapolis on May 20. She is a recipient of the Deb Shay Award from the division of science and mathematics at the University. Michelle has accepted admission into the entry-level master's degree program at the Krannert Graduate School of Physical Therapy in Indianapolis. She is the daughter of Dan and Judy Courtney, r 2, Syracuse. Adamant Some minds are like concrete — all mixed up and permanentlyset. — U.S. Guard News.

one in the morning with an earache I’ll think of Pert and wonder if she’s still up. 3. I’m normal if I feel my blood pressure rising during morning rush hour. One school morning several years ago when my sister was visiting, I was getting ready for work, and the bus was coming in 15 minutes. Tanya needed help with her cereal, Doreen was waiting for a bottle and the phone was ringing. There sat the five-year-old, supposedly getting ready for school, but fussing over an imaginary wrinkle in a sock. I thought Pert was still sleeping on the living room floor when I heard a low moan coming from her: “How can you stand to see her dawdling like that! ’ ’ 4. Parenting requires great physical stamina. I've always been jealous of my sister’s athletic prowess and outright strength. So I was unprepared for her reaction when she bathed our one-year-old in the bathtub and put her to bed one night. After finally getting her settled, my sister took a deep breath and asked, “How do you ever manage?” So that’s- why I feel like crawling in bed after the children are in! 5. It’s normal to want to ignore kids sometimes. Not all of the lessons are positive ones, pert sometimes gets an overdos/of the children. She may try tkignore a request for one more piggyback ride, or be totally oblivious to the kids when they interrupt her while she’s reading a book. Then I see myself, desperately trying to finish yet another chore instead of stopping and listening to the toddler at my heel. 6. The final lesson I’m learning is this: I was a better aunt befoi c I became a mother! I, too, used to take long walks with my nieces and nephews, take them shopping, bake cakes, and play in boxes. Surely there’s room in every family for the extra Explained A moderate income is one which comes within a moderate distance of covering moderate expenses.

benefits of an aunt or uncle without children! They should be welcomed, not chided with “Well when you are going to have some of your own?” or “But who will take care of you when you’re old?” If they do a good job of “aunting” and “uncling” they’ll probably have plenty of nieces and nephews who won’t forget about them when they get old. Parents and children alike benefit from having other caring Christians influencing their children. Are there some children who would welcome your love today? For a free photocopy of an article exploring these ideas in more depth, just write and ask for the title "Sharing Your Preschooler With Relatives." My address is Melodie Davis, Another Way, P.O.
