It seems like an appropriate disclaimer 😅
I believe parenthood somehow completes one’s self, as in giving its true purpose.
When you have kids, remember two pieces of advice of a random Nostr guy: 1, be generous, and have as many kids as you can. There is no greater joy and no greater ROI in life fulfillment. Low time preference always pays off. Al carajo with all those little, close-minded people that have two kids and no more because “it’s enough”. Since when just this love is enough?
And 2, your job as a parent is to raise kids so that they are successful in leaving your nest. So, your number one priority, and the person who will remain after the kids leave, is your spouse. Treat your husband like when you were still dating even when you have kids.
There are few sure ways of ruining a marriage. Forgetting about the spouse and living solely for the kids is one of them.
PS. This applies for husbands exactly in the same way, but you mentioned you’re a wife
