Who comes first—my partner or my baby?

Most women have to deal with a male partner who is trying to embrace all his scary new responsibilities too, like now being the main household provider. He’s trying to get it all right but may be repeatedly boxed with a left-hand jab (or hit out of the ring completely) from just trying to get it right. So, try not to take your own self-doubts out on your imperfect partner. Just as we need to feel as if we are the most important person in the world to our partners, our partners need to feel that they are the most needed person in the world to us. In the same breath, it is also time for the man of the household to grow up. As a couple, try hard not to have some awful argument over something really trivial…don’t act like children and never go to sleep at night with an unresolved argument.
