Wife to Mother…

Life has changed alot, since our son has come into our lives.. My priorities has changed, and now the needs of my son come first. What has changed the most is the relation to my husband. I have become a mother from a wife.

First my husband used to give me time, around 30 minutes a day taken out of his busy schedule. You can read about my husband’s busy life here: Is It Already Bedtime ?. But now, those 30 minutes are dedicated to our son. Before my husband used to give me a kiss on a cheek before leaving for work in the morning (while I was sleeping), now he gives a kiss to his son (while we are both sleeping). My husband, with his limited free time, used to talk to me about general stuff, but now he only has time for his son. Do you see a pattern ?

Just because I have become a mother, my relation has changed. Is this how it should be?

Does this normally happen when a family of two becomes three ? Why can’t a woman be a wife and a mother at the same time for a man and for his child? Why do we lose that gift as soon as a baby arrives? Or is it just a phase, that will pass ?

Any suggestions or answers to my questions?
