The Worst Case: A Sleeping Bag and Oatmeal “One of the many life skills that you want to learn at a fairly young age is the skill of being an ultra-thrifty, minimal kind of little wisp that’s traveling through time . . . in the sense of learning how little you actually need to live, not just in a survival mode, but in a contented mode. . . . That gives you the confidence to take a risk, because you say, ‘What’s the worst that can happen? Well, the worst that can happen is that I’d have a backpack and a sleeping bag, and I’d be eating oatmeal. And I’d be fine.’”

Max Weber said that dealing with unintended consequences of your actions is what political responsibility is.
Careless People
Sarah Wynn-Williams
This is perfectly normal. Many studies, including our own, show that there is often a decline in relationship satisfaction after the birth of a child; it doesn’t mean the relationship is in trouble. Caring for an infant is a major challenge, and much of the time and attention that was once devoted to the couple’s relationship must be diverted to the child. So it’s natural for couples to struggle somewhat after they have children.
