You are assuming women are all the same?

Giving birth, becoming a parent is truly a life altering event. Yes, in ways most women will see love in an entirely new way. There is nothing more sacred than the love for your child.
Are they less capable? Some women have postpartum depression after giving birth that is a serious medical condition.
Do they lose their humor? New Mom's might find some of their old views too dirty or inappropriate (either for the child, or for the stigma surrounding what a mother is supposed to be).
Her breasts will become huge and she will be able to support life from them, then they will shrink a bit smaller than pre-pregnancy.
She will love her child more than anything in the world, and cherish the Father who helped create (and raise) the bundle of Joy. She may not laugh at immature antics anymore but she will suddenly consider potty jokes a reality.
It's all in the eye of the beholder.
How do you think the Father changes?

It is impossible to be self centered around a tiny human being completely depended on your care. This small person becomes a very heart of her universe. His / her needs become the most important needs to her. Woman is not just a woman any longer: she is this baby's mother now and for ever. She is still the same, but a much deeper person now. Her role of a mother is the most important role in her life, and role of a wife and lover is a distant second now. So, you have a choice either you sit around and whine about lost privileges of her exclusive attention, or you can help her by sharing all the responsibilities that come with a child you created together and become a true family. The choice is yours to make.

I think it depends. Its about maturity level. I think birth like you are asking about, depends on the person and level of maturity, also what they want in their life. But getting a person pregnant in hopes they will settle down, isn't the right reason,nor a working reason, that's will create resent and it all should be abot the baby, not the parents. Love for a child is very different then for a partener. there is no way to understand that love unless you have a child, but don't ever expect your partner to love you like they do a child, it is different.

Are men more capable of love after shaving? You tell me. Many women experience different things after having children. Some turn into saintly Mother Theresa moms and others get postpartum depression and try to commit suicide or kill their own children. Remember, women are human too. It really depends on the woman.

I think women (and men) learn a different kind of love after they have children. A love for a child is a fierce, protective, unconditional love. Until you have kids, you really just can't understand. That being said I don't think that women are any more or any less "capable" of love after a child....some people are just more loving than others. One thing a woman doesn't want is a man who wants to be loved as one of her children. A woman wants a man to love as a partner, not as another baby to cuddle.

what is wrong with being self centric? Women shouldn't love themselves anymore and sacrifice their lives for their kids after they had kids? Few people call men selfish when they have kids and decide that they have changed their minds and want to go back to being kids themselves. Few people call them selfish when they refuse to cut down work hours, hanging out with their boys and gym hours to help take care of their kids. but if a woman decides she doesn't want to give up her life for her child, she is a selfish uncaring person

Not all women are alike, but giving birth gives most women a different, unconditional love that you don’t have with your parents.

Maybe your Mom just doesn’t think your jokes are funny. =;o)

It depends on the woman....but especially during the first couple of years, both parents are usually EXHAUSTED, between midnight feedings, changing diapers, crying spells, etc.
