My priorities had been changing before I had Addie but after she was born they changed completely. I don't count - my daughter sort of owns me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have priorities. Maintaining my daughter is my first.
Having children really changes your priorities.
With my daughter, who at the time was one, my domestic life needed to take more precedent and really with my own self I needed to develop quite a bit more. So that put Blur down the list of priorities quite a lot by the time I came to thinking about it.
I think the biggest change has been realizing I now have three children.
I think my mother realized she had a somewhat unusual daughter pretty early on.
People expect you to change when you become a mother, and of course my priorities changed when I had Violet. She's number one in my life and the best thing that ever happened to me, but I still have fun. I am still myself, but that is made out to seem like I am rebelling against motherhood.
My mindset at this stage, especially after having a daughter... it's just changed my whole outlook.
My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now. That's a huge, huge thing.
I feel so lucky to have both a son and a daughter, because there's a different relationship with each of them.
I thought I had a handle on my priorities before Elizabeth and I lost our oldest son to stillbirth.
