What does having a kid mean?
I happened to read a research article about the affect of birth of a child on married life. According to researchers at the University of Denver (DU) and Texas A&M, having kids could mean end of marital bliss!
Ok, so far I don’t have anybody calling me mama. But I still feel the bond between a husband and a wife only gets stronger upon the arrival of a child. A kid means shared responsibility and it’s totally upto parents how they steer their new life.
I agree to the research result to a degree. Only if one of the parents refuses to share responsibility as much situation demands, is when it leads to stress in a marriage. I know of people who plunge into the big decision without planning ahead – emotionally as well as monetarily. You need to be fully prepared before getting a new life into existence. It’s only fair!
If you have a pre and post planning well in place, I don’t see why there would be stress. Kids can bring so much joy to your life.
Long back I had blogged about an article that I read in the newspaper about kids…it was called Different perspective….it’s a worth read.

Having a kid would mean a lot of change in normal routines and sleep too….at least thts wht my study of a few friends revealed
And ……you tend to think yourself as older….which means no more company for me to do crazy stuff!
