When did the realization really click in for you?

Moms Talk is a new feature on the East Meadow Patch, part of a new initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to moms and families.

East Meadow Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in East Meadow.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a chat about the latest parenting hot topic. Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics for children? How do we talk to our children about the Tucson shootings? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

Today's topic is the first time you felt like a parent - When did you first have that realization that the transformation was complete? We're not talking about the first time you looked into your baby's eyes. We want a story that made you feel like a true parent.

Moms Council members are online to chat with you! Please use the comment box below for questions, or to share your experiences and the lessons you have learned.
