Carrie Bickmore opens up: “sadness I can’t shake”
Carrie Bickmore has opened up about dealing with her eldest son Oliver, 11, who is seemingly growing up faster than she is prepared for.
The 38-year-old The Project host told readers in her latest Stellar Magazine column she is finding it hard to deal with little Ollie – the only child she had with husband Greg Lange, who passed away from brain cancer in 2010 – who will be graduating primary school soon.
“I feel a gentle sadness creeping over me that I can’t shake,” Carrie wrote.
“It’s the end of an era. The end of primary school for my eldest and I’m not ready.”
The Network 10 star went on to admit while she is aware kids grow up and into themselves while in high school, she is not so sure she is prepared for all the changes bound to come.
“I have friends with kids in high school, I see what’s ahead - the smells, the retreating, the grunting - and I’m not sure I’m ready,” she said.
Bickmore went on to say she is “starting to savour these seemingly mundane moments” in the lead up to the big change looming for her and her family.
Luckily for Carrie, she has a long way to go until her two other children, four-year-old Evie and 11-month-old daughter Adelaide – who she shares with partner Chris Walker – go on to “big kids school.”
