You will change

All of a sudden the teenagers walking around outside in the winter with no coats on seem so absolutely crazy that you want to pull over to give them a blanket. When you become a mom, you think like a mom. You become consumed with this little being that you love so much and worry about how each and every incident affects them. You will watch different shows, listen to different music, hang out in different places on the weekends. your views will change and your priorities will shift. Some changes may feel really good and others may not. Finding a balance between who you used to be and who you are with a child is important. Try not to lose yourself in the parenting world. You may feel really guilty taking “me time” and asking for help but the happier and more comfortable you are, the more effective parent you will be.
