Lost your passions/interests when you had a child?

[Bingiswhiney]

Or just naturally grown out of things.
Lay on the sofa watching ‘Eat, love, pray’ and finding it boring. Remembering how I felt watching it ten years ago, it really resonated with me, I wasn’t sure if I wanted children really or to be married (was in long term relationship I’m still in) I now have one toddler Dd who I adore.
Just feeling a bit strange as I ADORED travel, ever since I was a child, I was drawn to different cultures and countries, I’ve travelled pretty extensively and it was always my biggest indulgence/excitement.
I’m just sat here thinking how different I am as I’m not even interested in that anymore..I don’t think 🤷🏻‍♀️Quite sad all that excitement I had for seeing different places seems to have vanished, I was so sure it was an intrinsic part of my character.
Did you change/lose interest in passions you had, once you had a child?

I definitely don't have the time and energy to devote to my passions and interests like I used to. They still there, though - I just have to make more of an effort to make time for them.

I'm thinking this is just a phase, when the kids are very young and you're very hands on and working and rushing around every second. Hopefully will get some time later on to relax and pick them back up more seriously!

I have a 15 week old DS, and I already feel sad about missing out on the endurance sports I lived before pregnancy but haven't been able to do since. I hope I don't lose my passion for sport entirely by the time I'm able to pick them up again...

It’s not even that I don’t have time for it (which I don’t 🤣) I think I’ve just lost that aspect of myself completely. I was still staying in Thailand, Ibiza etc months before conceiving Dd
