Mindy Kaling Reveals Unexpected Nickname for 3-Year-Old Son, Spencer
When Mindy first became pregnant, she believed she could raise Kit on her own, just like her parents did with her. She reflected on how her mother managed without complaint, inspiring Mindy to think, “If Mom could handle it all, why couldn’t I?”
However, the reality hit Mindy when she realized she didn’t have her mother’s guidance for tasks like breastfeeding. To navigate this, she took a friend’s advice and hired a baby nurse, a decision she considers one of her best. Mindy shares, “I didn’t have my mom, but I had Rose. Rose was always ready to give advice, and I was eager to listen.” Mindy talks about the fears Rose helped her face, emphasizing how Rose became a maternal figure when Mindy needed one the most.
Mindy cherished having Rose so much that when the baby nurse asked if she would need her help again, Mindy responded, “I’m not sure if I’ll have another baby, but if it means having you with me, I might just do it.”
