Re: Does having a baby drastically alter your interest pool?
(Anonymous) 2015-01-17 04:40 am (UTC)(link)You know, I think everyone means to have varied interests post-childbirth, it's just that they don't realize how hard that is for a lot of people. Childcare takes up so much of your time and energy, so the hobbies and interests you used to pursue fall by the wayside whether you intend that or not. Which makes sense... it's hard to keep up with your shows and the latest movies when you're chronically short on sleep and so much of your life now revolves around a tiny human who's completely dependent on you.
That said, I wouldn't say it's impossible, just hard. Society is very understanding of new parents (mothers in particular) who are extremely baby-focused. It's viewed as a positive thing... or at least, an expected thing. So people aren't necessarily pushed to do otherwise. In contrast, my friends did a lot of baby-related talk, but they were very eager to talk about something besides their kid just to get a break from it. It can be very isolating, especially if it's one parent who's the primary caregiver.
