😉 Greetings to my regular readers and visitors of the site! “Birth chart” is the story of my colleague. Once over a cup of coffee, he told a story from family life:
– From the day my wife and I learned that we were expecting a baby, life has changed dramatically for both of us. We were no longer the loving couple we once were. Almost overnight, just as quickly as the pregnancy test went positive, we became what I can only call paranoid.
However, this probably applies to many parents. But in our case, the “Birth Card” was to blame.
Olga, like many expectant mothers, spent a lot of time on the Internet in search of information about pregnancy. And there she came across this program, which is installed on a computer or tablet. The program tracks pregnancy month by month, informing about the changes taking place in the woman.
Family conflict
It so happened that this “Map” quickly became an important part of our life. Olya endlessly contributed to it detailed descriptions of the various stages of pregnancy. And the spouse looked at the advice of the program as if at the Bible, which tells her how to live.
The first and most noticeable changes occurred in our diet. Suddenly, some of my favorite foods were kicked out of my home. When I tried to talk to my wife about it. Olga let me know that she herself knows what is best for us and our child, and asked me to shut up.
The next zone, which was quickly taken over and occupied, were moments of sleep and awakening. Now the time we spent in the bedroom was calculated in minutes. Jumping up in the middle of the night to listen to the baby stirring has become commonplace for us.
I lost my temper when Olga tried to remake my habits according to the same “Birth Chart”. But I had no intention of falling under the influence of an unborn child. In the course of the conflict, my suspicions that with the help of the “Map” my wife tried to take control of all areas of my life were fully confirmed.
Thank God, we both had the wisdom not to bring the conflict to an extreme point. And after the birth of the child, when the need to obey the program disappeared, our life gradually returned to normal.
Now Olya laughingly recalls her “pregnant moves”. And he reads various resources devoted to raising children with a fair amount of skepticism.
Sometimes I think, maybe it’s good that we got sick with the “Birth Card” during pregnancy, and not the “Growth Card” after the baby was born. After all, such a program for young parents certainly exists as well.
Here’s a story. How did you live before? No internet, no ultrasound, no smartphones … and everyone was happy!
