[quote=Anonymous]To all the PPs going on side rants about "mommy martyrs": it's not about that. Maybe there is some of that going on too in OP's situation, we don't know...but the truth is that even for those who in no way feel that their child is their entire existence (although, it should be said that if the concept of your child being the center of your world sounds so foreign that it verges on absurd...I don't know that you're such a good parent) and who prioritize maintaining some of their own hobbies etc - becoming a parent is pretty all-consuming for awhile there. The alone time and freedom you once had is wildly changed. Regardless of what else you decide to do, you are suddenly literally charged with the awesome responsibility of keeping another (entirely helpless and dependent) human alive. You HAVE to feed them and soothe them and clothe (.../diaper) them and interact with them; in a moment to moment way, you have to put their base needs above your own whims. It's wildly life-altering no matter what your parenting approach is, and your response makes me question if you actually have kids

To the posters mentioning hallucinogens: are you for real, and if so would love to hear more! Out of curiosity [/quote]
