However when it comes to this topic being a parent might not have the impact on your social and professional that you think. This article offers you the insight and a more in depth look into how becoming a parent can improve your social and professional life.

- There have been certain parents I’ve felt an instant bond with merely due to the fact that our children are the same age, to the point where I’ve gone over to their houses for a first play date and instantly found myself feeding their babies or helping the parents make dinner.
- Once you have that personal connection established, it’s easy — practically fun — to talk about adult things like work after that.
- Meanwhile, becoming a parent has given my writing career a whole new dimension. I write what I know, and while parenting isn’t all I know, figuring out how to do it the best I can and how to manage it all the best I can is an ever-flowing fountain for me.
