The moment I heard we were going to have a baby, my sense of responsibility just spiked, coming back to normal after few months. I liked the enhanced sense of responsibility though.. I have never hesitated to face extra responsibility to be honest. I think I enjoy being responsible, lol.
It was like a decade ago, I had a random thought about grooming my own child.. what to and how to sort of just breezed through my mind.. (very early thoughts). Never knew it would take so long to experience them in real. Its good in a way, I am clearly able to distinguish the affection and care coming from a forced-to-be parent and the more natural ones, may be its not fair to compare one over the other, its certainly a unique bond in every family. but I have seen some parents who have an unexpected child and then keep moaning about it, rather not have a child over an accident! or the least dont make it obvious.
I believe the baby was the missing puzzle in our life, this has gotten us lot closer as husband and wife and made us more mature in our thought process. may be, we are gracefully stepping in to the next phase.
I like us being able to foresee and plan a lot of things for our child, truly one of a kind experience, specially when the the older generation doesnt bother you with their ways of doing stuff. I think this lets us make our decisions with a balanced and neutral mind.
Eventually, I think we pick a lot of extra senses in our day to day life, which otherwise we wouldnt have cared this much. simple things like hardness of the water, ambience noise level, air pollution, room temperature and not to forget mum's diet have gained a lot of importance in our daily discussions. its quite easy to slip into the old habits, though I am not sure for how long these extra senses will be kicking in, but as long as its there, it gives you a full satisfaction of being a better parent.
