Not in a "I don't care about myself" way but more in a "I'm not going to stress myself out if my outfit isn't absolutely perfect"-and-move-on kind of way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-pregnancyparenthood-changed-you#post-202307 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:55:09 +0000 DillonLion 202307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nice! Pregnancy has made me totally less patient...ha! Need to work on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-pregnancyparenthood-changed-you#post-202220 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:00:39 +0000 banana 202220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Parenthood has made me SOOOO much more patient! Even my mom is surprised that I"ve been able to keep my cool on a daily basis, even when my son is throwing a full blown tantrum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-pregnancyparenthood-changed-you#post-202156 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 13:12:33 +0000 DillonLion 202156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For most of my life I was pretty....cowardly. There, I said it. I hated confrontation and would always back down and try to remove myself from a situation that was getting heated (as opposed to standing up for myself and fighting back). </p> <p>Well, I'm changing big time in that aspect. This started a bit before pregnancy, and thanks to a lot of therapy I am much better at standing up for myself. But, getting pregnant has unleashed something new. I feel fiercely protective of myself, my baby, and my new little family. And for the first time I have absolutely no qualms about standing up and defending myself, no matter what. </p> <p>It feels GREAT, to be honest. I've wished I could be this way for a long time. </p>
