 How does having a child change your priorities?
Cupid’s Advice:
Once you have a child the world you once knew will no longer exist, and life will never be the same because you’ll have different priorities. Â Cupid has some tips to help you prepare:
1. Focus:Â Remember when the world revolved around you? Â Well, those days are over. Â The majority of your energy and concentration will be about raising your child.
2. Flexibility:Â You can’t just get up and go anymore. Â Going out and family trips have to be thoughtfully planned, and your wallet is going to tighten up as well. Â You’re not going to have money to blow like you might have before.
3. Family:Â If you’re already close with your family, you’re in luck because everyone is going to want to take their turns babysitting and you’ll have a great support system for advice. Â If you’re not close with your family, a newborn in the family might be just the thing you needed to regain that connection.
