I have a nine month old son and in no way feel like everything else is getting thrown under the bus (or that my ambition has decreased as a result).
I do obviously care about keeping my son alive and well, and that does require some degree of compromise with my other goals, but I haven’t experienced caring less about my other goals than I did previously.
Also the reasons I care about him have stayed pretty constant both before and after he was actually born, I don’t think oxytocin is noticeably influencing how I feel my goals (my guess is it’s just causing my feelings of affection towards him in small scale interactions).
