Children should always come first, whether they're your children, children you know, or children you don't know.

The thing about being a grown up is that you're a grown up. Deal with it.

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...

Depending on the situation sometimes I'd put my son first and sometimes my late husband.


But in order for me to had seen to their needs I had to tend to myself first.

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 rose

Surely BOTH parents are responsible to 'cater for' (I prefer 'nurture the relationship') with the child AND to each other.

If the child is still in the parent's care i.e. a minor child, they are CHILDREN and therefore need more guidance and attention than an adult.

I find it rather skewed to ask if a WOMAN has to chose for whom she will cater and not 'a parent'.
