On the one hand, the birth of a child is a great happiness for parents.
On the other hand, a baby seriously changes the life of a married couple.
It's not easy for mom and dad: they need to take care of their child, spending a lot of time and effort.
Not all couples manage to maintain their relationship in such circumstances.
The husband and wife may not cope with the test and become disappointed in each other.
How to save a family after the birth of the first child? Three rules must be followed.
Prepare for problems
A husband and wife who have recently become parents must realize the following: now there will be many difficulties in life.
The woman will have to constantly sit with the child, cook and wash more often, while not forgetting about other housework.
Men will have to work harder (to earn more), while not forgetting to come to the aid of their spouse.
It is also important for young parents to be prepared for the fact that their efforts will not be appreciated. It is unlikely that anyone will consider them “heroes.”
It is important to understand the following: there will most likely be no "family fairy tale". A difficult period has come, you need to get ready for serious work. Breakdowns and fatigue are inevitable. You can't be offended by others. You shouldn't blame yourself for everything either.
Assign responsibilities
It is necessary to immediately decide what each spouse will be “responsible” for.
This distribution of responsibilities will help to avoid numerous quarrels and conflict situations.
Try to thank your significant other for any contribution made to caring for the baby.
Talk about something else
Young parents should at least occasionally talk about topics unrelated to the child.
From time to time, mom and dad should "take a break" from the baby, devoting time to each other. At the same time, of course, one must not forget about the child's safety.
