Unit 1: The World of Parenting

Question 1 • FL-8500300-Parenting Skills (IS) - Flex

Ricardo and his girlfriend, Elisa, had a baby boy two weeks ago. Ricardo and Elisa have been taking care of the baby all day and all night. Ricardo’s friends ask him what his life is like now with a baby. Which of Ricardo’s statements is most likely TRUE about his life as a parent?

Answer
A
I might have to change my priorities in life now.
B
I have this completely figured out.
C
My new life is exactly the same as my life before.
D
I have plenty of time to hang out with my friends and family.

Explanation

Caring for a newborn takes a great deal of time and attention, so Ricardo may need to put the baby’s needs ahead of some previous activities or goals. That makes “I might have to change my priorities in life now” the most likely true statement. Having a baby is a major change, so his life is unlikely to be exactly the same or leave him plenty of free time, and he is unlikely to have parenting completely figured out after only two weeks.
