[quote=Anonymous]It's not so much planning ahead as knowing it's coming. There was no way to know exactly how we would react to the intense newborn period. I think we had a sense of a range, but there are certain situations in which you just cannot be your best self, or even a very decent self, every single moment. Recognizing that those times can and do happen--and recognizing them for what they are when they occur--helps tremendously. Had I not known, for instance, how common it is to have some terrible fights somewhere in the first six-twelve weeks of your baby's life, I would have been more devastated. But I knew, no matter how mean we were to each other, that it had more to do with the situation than anything, that it was in fact somewhat normal, and we pulled through. [/quote]
