Chantal Janzen (45) says in the editorial of her magazine ‘&C’ that she cannot imagine a life without children. Although shortly after the birth of her children she sometimes thought back to the carefree life she had before.
“You don’t have to take it one-two-three”
“Okay, this is my responsibility now. That’s what I thought when I had my first child placed on my chest. I have to take care of this all my life, without me it can’t do anything,” Chantal begins her editorial. Baby time is therefore extremely difficult, according to the presenter. But yes, you get so much in return.
Does Chantal never long for the carefree life she had before she had children? ‘No. Not really? Well, okay, just occasionally maybe. The carefree feeling of only having to take care of yourself, meeting up with friends without having to go home because your tits are leaking or you have to pick up your child from daycare. But other than that I would never want to go back. I can’t imagine life without my children, they really are the most beautiful thing in my life.’
She understands that there are plenty of parents who think: what have we gotten ourselves into? And that’s okay. “Everything, absolutely everything changes when you become a mother. That’s all okay and self-evident, but you don’t have to take it in one-two-three,” she says.
The new &C is in stores this week.
