Soledad’s fears about motherhood

Regarding how she handles the privacy of motherhood, she noted that “I am 47 years old and I started in this very young. At first I was super jealous of my privacy. I remember that at the Viña Festival it was like an obsession. And I have let go of the obsessions. This is my job, it is a wonderful job and yes, it has things that you have to accept, and One of them is that people approach you because you are there every day or we try to be in their homes every day.”.
But he also clarifies that “You yourself expose part of that process through your own agenda, your networks, and of course, it is logical that they come back wanting to know something. But obviously I am the known person, but there is Andrés, the father of the child. AND I am more careful about that because, obviously, he is interested in greater privacy.”
Another topic that the journalist addressed, was how he has dealt with the issue of age considering that was transformed in mother at 47 years old.
“With Andrés we laugh. He told me: ‘Borja is going to come into the world, he is going to look at us and say, my grandparents came to look for me.’. We were dying of laughter. None of that offends me and it’s kind of logical and natural too. Let’s talk about that because 47 years is 47 years.”he explained.
Soledad is a first-time mother, so she has had to live through various moments. “The first time we went to the pediatrician, she said to me: ‘How are you? I’m fine, I told him, but basically I’m afraid of him drowning. It is my permanent, constant fear, at night, during the day. And he tells me: ‘I have bad news for you. From here on out that fear will only mutate, because it will remain until the day you die.”he explained.
“That’s a part of being a mother, although of course that’s not everything. And maybe something that describes it well, is that for the first time I am afraid of dying”, he added.
Finally, Onetto explained the reasons for this fear. “Now, for the first time, by Borja, I am afraid of dying, afraid that my son will be left without me. AND For him I want to live as long as possible”, he stated.
