How did you change since having a child? (If you have)

I was thinking recently how I’m tougher/harder since having my Dd, 3. I used to be more self conscious, now I can easily talk to anyone. I look worse, and definitely used to be more confident about my appearance, but it’s almost like some confidence came from somewhere and I don’t care what anyone thinks anymore, anyone else feel like this?
I also worry less about everyone else, I used to worry to the point of upset about my parents etc, now I don’t that much.,which makes me feel awful. It’s like I literally don’t have space for anything to worry about, unless it involves Dd.
I’m softer deep deep down, but mainly just in regards to her.
Motherhood is weird!
How did/has it changed you, if at all?
And why am I so tough now 🤷🏻‍♀️

@00100001 Did I not just say I appreciate her choice? 🙄

But went on to say that she cares more about her accomplishments. 🤷‍♀️

@00100001 I explained in my comment that it was her comment after about just cleaning up poo and running a vacuum around that was off, not the going back to work bit.

Yy to your post op. Spent youth/20s trying too hard with friendships etc, caring way too much about what other people thought. Post kids I could not give 2 shits, I dont have the time or energy to waste worrying about that crap any more.

I'm definitely less patient and definitely less career focussed
