Hi Annie, so glad you found this helpful :) You and your husband will be wonderful parents! Patience, listening, and improvisation are all such great qualities to have with kids.

I agree with you, I shy away from having lots of kids over. I prefer having 1 or 2 parents and their kids. Usually 1 at a time, because that connection with the parent is just as important as just having my daughter’s friend over.

And yes, 1–2 after activities is enough for us :) Our lives revolve a lot around our child already — but there is a limit. And that limit is whatever you want it to be :)

I do find it tough, but I think being positive helps so much.

Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts. It means so much to me Annie :) All the best on trying for a child. Feel free to message if there’s anything else you’re wondering about. Perhaps you’ll give me another writing topic! :) xx
