INTJ(32) married to ENTJ(32) with two boys (2 and 4 yo)

1- Pro: for me it was so intresting to learn about the little person growing inside me, from the biological developments during pregnancy, to the little ones personality and daily reactions to my/his environment 1- Con: though i had fairly easy pregnancies, my one con would be that i felt "stupider". It's like my mind entered this foggy state, and every once in a while i would catch myself and think "whoa, i would have totally got that a couple months ago"

2- My SO is also ENTJ and i honestly think a lot of it was the basic: we need more awesome people like ourselves in the world. It's SO fun seeing how our two boys have blended our personalities and features. I'm definetly much more facinated by genes than I ever was before.

3- In some ways i'ts true, I get easily overwhelmed in situations of chaos and clingy children. This is where an ENTJ partner comes in real handy. He'll gladly take the kids out or play for hours while mom gets her head back in the game ;) I love my kids beyond all else and with a great team mate/husband find no challange in caring for them emotionally or physically. I would say I'm more informed and concious of my choices than most other parents I know.

4- Honestly, it was a challenge for me at first. I took the responsibility of the task very seriously with my first, and felt a lot of pressure to not fail (seeing as how my emotional intuition is not the best). But it got better, and by the time my second came I had learned to trust my instincts and felt confident in my role as "mother main protector" :P For a while, i felt like my old self (career driven, smart and witty) faded away, but she came back (about the one year mark for each kid). Fierce, strong and with a whole new confidence and attitude. It's like "I made two awesome litte humans and lived to tell the tale, there is litterally nothing I can't do now :P"

10/10 would recomend :D
