So I do see partners and there is...
Studies that show that 67% of couples sort of have a lot of conflict in the first three years of a child's life.
A lot of conflict because the relationship boundaries are changing.
I know, 33%.
Delusional.
There's still a developmental earthquake for dads.
But not the Richter scale.
I don't know what the Richter scales are.
If your mom is 10, dad's like a five.
It's definitely happening.
Okay.
And that dad who's going to golf needs to go to golf.
They also need their time, right?
If that's what filled their cup, they do need to go fill their cup.
So there is some shifts that happen, but it needs to be realigned.
And that takes a lot of time.
And that's why a mother just doesn't become a mother immediately.
It takes time.
There's new boundaries, not just with the partner.
