I Didn't Expect My Parents Becoming Grandparents Would Change Everything.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Becoming a parent changes us. We know that going in, even if we don't fully understand how until we're living it. The sleep deprivation, the fierce love, the way our own childhood suddenly replays in a different light. What catches a lot of us off guard is the other transformation happening at the same time: watching our own parents, or our in-laws, become grandparents. ]]></description><link>https://www.gaymomsclub.com/post/parents-becoming-grandparents</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5ec9b06adee9ecb16204ee</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_8ef9cc96c3c2448f8d74f2b9856ed118~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Gay Moms Club </dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Raising a Boy When You've Never Been One]]></title><description><![CDATA[There's a version of the gay mom narrative that gets told a lot. It's tender and hard-won and real: the logistics, the legal hoops, the joy of finally holding your child. It’s the forms that don't have a box for your family, the explaining, the advocacy.

It can just be a sentence you've already decided on, that you pull out when you need it, that costs you basically nothing because you already did the work of figuring out the words.
