Our little one turned three years old and we reflect on what that means for our parenting + "The Bear" season 3 review.
On the journey to becoming parents, there are endless questions to discuss: what kind of birth do we want? what will we name our baby? where will baby sleep? who will stay home with the baby and who will go back to work? In addition to those common ones, this episode we offer an additional 10 existential questions to ask yourself and your partner in preparation to becoming parents.
These questions are not meant to help people decide if they want to have children — rather an opportunity to engage with each other on a deeper level about the changes that come once a baby is part of your family.
Most of these questions are ones that we, ourselves, discussed in our journey. And some are topics we realize in retrospect would have been important to name.
