We have an addition to our family, my granddaughter Sibahle-Lee Mngconkola!!!!. I'm so proud of my growing family especially when I saw Sibahle's birth certificate.
My son and his baby-mama are not married, I just hope registering the baby in our surname will not create some expectation in terms of marriage. I hope they will let things happen the way they should, not because they are pressurised by having a baby together.
You know a bonus in all this? Sibahle-Lee's maternal family are my NEIGHBOURS, as in next door!! So I have a privilege of seeing my princess at anytime I want! I can't wait for when she is big, she will just tell her other grandma that "I'm going home to Nana (me)".
I love Dena (Baby mama), I just hope she will stay focused on the baby irrespective of her relationship with Siba (my son). My son on the other hand, ee..eee.. I just hope to God that he takes his job as a father seriously. I hope how well we raised him would rub on him and he also do an excellent job raising her daughter.
My fear........ their unstable relationship affecting healthy growth of my granddaughter. I promise and swear on my children, I will not allow that!!!!
Welcome to the clan mamMpandla, Khipha, Gobozi ........
Mhhh, we still have to do all the razzmatazz of tradition, at home in Addo!!!
Till next time. (I'm struggling with technology to load Sibahle's pics)
