Whew, boy, is that a loaded question! In American culture, it is normally the kids who are coming first. It is seen as an outrage if a woman puts her man first here. I'll bet it is different in some other cultures. One of the things that is happening here, is that when the wife has a baby, she turns her attention fully on the kid and neglects the man. Of course kids take up alot of time, but spouses need to support each other; love can die of neglect. To me, love, caring and respect is the most important thing. You love, care for and respect everyone equally, and no one comes before another. But when it comes to being in a new/newish relationship with a man, in that case of course the guy does not have equal footing. Only in a well-established relationship, and that takes time. Just my humble opinion...
princealoyicious: Who do you cater to first: your child, or your man? And why?
With me it is not a who comes first thing. It would depend on what the situation was. The situation just might call for me to ignore everyone and cater to myself. I try to make good decisions in life. And I am the type that looks at the big picture. I wish it was simply putting things in order but that is not how it happens, so it would be what action needs to be done
