Ever wonder when problems will go away once you have children? I hate to break it to you, but sometimes that problems that you start out with just get bigger!
I created a list, however, of how you can avoid problems that come about once children come.
1. Discuss how many children that you want, what type of parent you want to be for your children, and what type of parenting style will most likely work for you. Now remember this is a conversation that should happen before children come, but sometimes people forget and need to discuss this once the first child comes. Parenting is hard and it only gets harder when two parents have two different parenting styles so make sure you communicate and work together.
2. You need to talk about what your expectations are for your children and what rules you want to set. You do not want your children learning which parent to go to for advice or things because they know the other parent will not give in. Also having two parents with two different rules or expectations will only cause more harm to your children and your relationship with your spouse so once again communicate and get on the same page!
3. Finally, MOTHERS MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR HUSBANDS! Sometimes as women we think just because we have a maternal instinct that we know what is best for our children, but HELLO we can be wrong sometimes. We need to make sure that the fathers feel needed so that they do not separate themselves from both you and your children. We all need to feel needed, but we need to make sure especially that fathers have a role in their children's lives because mom is not always going to be there and dads will have to know what to do!
Be Kind to Others,
