Finally, I would tell her that spend ing time with other mothers and find ing humor in the mishaps of a rough day will make even the most stress ful moments more tolerable. Perhaps the best advice I’d give, however, I’d offer to a new moth er’s husband, parents, and friends. Tell her often how much you value what she’s doing. Make sure she knows you respect the sacrifices she’s making and the hard work The Southern Cross, Page 11 involved. Be sure to support her by helping whenever possible. And, if she’s anything like I was, go easy on the advice. Mary Hood Hart lives with her husband and four children in Sunset Beach, N.C.
