Top 10 - things to look out for as a couple when the child is there
Life with a child not only changes the everyday life of a woman and a man, but also life as a couple. Many couples, who have previously experienced a harmonious marriage or relationship, realize only after the birth of the child, which tensions have come into the relationship life.
The new "roommate", who now requires a lot of attention, also brings the often-believed-in couple rhythms upset. If you are not careful, you will quickly experience conflicts where there were none before. So here are our top 10 things to watch out for when you suddenly have three.
10 Time to seek and find sex - even if it's not as easy as it used to.
9 Agree beforehand, who would like to continue which hobbies after the birth of the child and then plan exactly.
8 Consoling the losses together - the time-consuming long-distance vacations, the wild weekends, the model figure, the sports car ...
7 Taking time for friendships - existing ones and those with other young parents.
6 Become clear about what reconciling work and family means in practice.
5 Find a ruling on who's going to put the kid to bed.
4 Do not plan the whole day, because children always bring unforeseen things.
3 Clearly determine who has what to do in the household.
2 Always free yourself enough time as a couple and use babysitter or grandparents as caregivers.
