The Transition to Parenthood
Captions available
The idea
The transition to parenthood tends to lower relationship satisfaction and raise conflict, and about half of young parents feel work–family stress, women more than men.
In practice
New parents' self-esteem rising and falling with the day's relationship quality.
Where people slip
The misconception is that having a baby brings a couple closer; satisfaction typically dips at first.
