The arrival of the baby means a real revolution for its mother. Motherhood changes a woman - her perspective on many things is different: her job, career, partner, her relationship with her mother also changes.
Motherhood changes priorities
What was the most important so far will be relegated to the background. And the most important thing will be the well-being of the child , your quality of life will depend on it. Some days your most ardent desire will be … to get some sleep. And then even a phone call from a loved one - formerly a source of quiet joy - will cause teeth to grind as long as it takes you out of the sweet nap you fell into between feeding and the baby's next bout of colic.
Motherhood will make you mature
You will be changed by the feeling that you are responsible for a being who is dependent on you for your protection. "What about the baby?" - for a very long time everything will be subordinated to this thought: from what you put on your plate to attempts to renew your social life and plans to return to work. Even years later, when your child grows up and thinks you've "cut the umbilical cord," you will drop everything and run to him when he needs help. Again, it will become the center of your life.
Thanks to motherhood you will keep your distance
Mainly for work. You will be surprised how much your child will change your view of appointments, conferences and business trips. None of these things will matter as much as your toddler's runny nose or first tooth, and even the most lucrative jobs won't keep you at work after hours when you need to feed, bathe and cuddlebabyto sleep.
You will understand mom
When you becomea mother yourself , you will appreciate her experience and the fact that you can lean on her. You will be able to complain to her, seek her advice, rest in her house … But at the same time you will stop being her little girl - you will be able to talk to her as if you were a friend. You will begin to defend your own opinion with more confidence than before - but then you may discover that your opinion is not so different from what your mother thinks.
Learn to plan
Being a mother is a 24/7 job. In addition, you need to run a house, take care of the rest of the family,earn those few pennies, and finally rest sometime. Fulfilling so many different tasks during the day requires organizational skills - planning and anticipation, as well as instant improvisation, i.e. flexibility in unpredictable situations (e.g. when a toddler suddenly falls ill).
You will refresh the relationship
Sex will take a back seat at first, and your partner may think that you have a more intimate and loving connection with the little one than with him, the father of this screaming toddler. But it is not everything. You will begin to judge him in terms of his qualities as a father. And who knows, whether you will discover in him advantages that you did not suspect of him: tenderness, patience, responsibility, sensitivity, the ability to play carefree … Now your love for your partner can gain a completely new, deeper dimension.
