The article explores the challenges of meal preferences among three old first-time parents after the arrival of baby Rocco. It highlights their individual dietary restrictions and habits, emphasizing how mealtime routines remain largely unchanged despite the new family dynamic. The author humorously reflects on their differing attitudes towards meals, noting that only a quarter of their meals are shared together. They express a collective commitment to support each other in the postpartum period while recognizing the need for greater synchronization in their eating habits moving forward.
Our biggest challenge is that we are all old first-time parents, each with very decided ideas about what we like to eat, and when.
Mealtime is probably the aspect of our shared life that has been the least altered by his arrival.
Despite our mealtime independence, we're all concerned with doing our fair share in this postpartum period.
I suspect eventually we will need to achieve a greater degree of synchronization someday.
