We Have to Fight Like the Dickens

What was your life like when your first child was two weeks old? If you’re like most parents, not only was that new life far and away at the top of your priority list, but it knocked out your whole idea of priorities, flat on the canvas, and replaced it with the fiery, protective loyalty that only a parent can have. Your only priority. Two weeks old.

But the bills don’t stop coming in, and groceries don’t magically appear in the fridge. In addition to the wonderful, exhausting adjustment to an infant joining the family, you have to wrap your mind around going back to your job.
