[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anything child abuse/trauma/neglect/crime -type things pull at my heartstrings like nothing before. I've always found those situations pre-kids, don't get me wrong, but now as a parent it really gets to me.. I can't even watch Law &Order SVU anymore.[/quote] +1 to that. For a long time there, I found myself crying weekly over the babies being pulled out of their mother's arms at the border. I would also say generally, I am faster to cry. Ex: I cried at Biden's speech last night (it was sooo good!) Beyond that though, I wouldn't say I've changed much. I'm still the same person, and I know that feeling totally different is common, but I don't. I have also gotten better about chores because "catching up" is impossible. I always used to just go to bed after people came over, figured I'd deal with the kitchen in the morning. Now, I'm in the camp of "if my day doesn't start with a clean kitchen, it's downhill from there."[/quote]
