Why babies are a blessing for handling teenagers!

The birthday season is on us once again.
Three in January and four in March and April.
February give us time to recover slightly.
Martha's 15th party is this weekend.
She is very excited.
At 15 , this broadly consists of her group of friends coming over, playing dance games on the wii and xbox, chatting and having a nice meal, before some leave and others stay for a 'wake over' as I call them, as no one generally sleeps!
We were talking about this years forthcoming event in the car today.
Martha: My friends cant wait to come over!
Me: why?
Martha: because they LOVEEEE Dad's cooking and your ice cream
Me: That's great
Martha: and they cant wait to see the babies again, in fact I think they are more excited about seeing the babies than seeing me mum. They were all arguing who was going to look after who and play the game 'pass the Caleb' that they all found so funny.
Me :Really?
Martha is one of only two or three of her friends to have babies still. I am the oldest mother to reproduce as well! All her friends have photos of the babies, constantly ask how they are and await the latest tales and updates.
It is all so sweet, and Martha enjoys talking about their latest achievements and antics with a captive audience.
Her instagram holds endless pictures of them both, and her tweets are about then as well, as are the other teens internet postings as well.
They love the babies with all their hearts. No matter what their day has been like or the moods they are in they always have time for them and give them endless love and affection. I can honestly see nothing but positives of having these two little people in their lives.
I know their friends all feel the same!
