[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think many people do things - one last time - before the first child comes as they don't yet know what that life will look like and there is some trepidation that they will they will be able to do the things they enjoy or that life will become all about the baby.

It really depends on your mindset. I know people whose lives have barely skipped a beat and they continue to enjoy most of the same activities but with kids or in a kid version way and I know other people who haven't done anything for themselves or for fun for years and have given up hobbies and interests. Personally, I think the first is much healthier and continue to do what you enjoy makes you a better parent and it is good for the kids to see their parents as people with interests and hobbies.

Meh or sometimes you get a hard kid and you may not have the ability to pursue interests because you lack the family support, finances for care, or other resources (ie sure if I had a live in au pair and a DH who didn’t travel I could work out and go see my girlfriends regularly instead of manically racing around all the time being a full time employee and mom). Also, I can’t run any more due to incontinence and pelvic issues, so sometimes physical changes can mean you have to stop things you love. [/quote]

+1 Some people struggle more with parenthood than others.  Those who wonder why parenthood is so easy for them and not for others should count their blessings that they got and easy kid and likely have financial/family resources that others don't. [/quote]

And people have different mindsets and philosophies about child rearing. There are lots of people who make life a lot more difficult for themselves than it needs to be because they worry pointlessly about all kinds of things, or the child is the center of their world, or they feel they need to be super mom martyr and never do anything for themselves. You see people posting those views on here all the time. [/quote]
