It's funny how things change after having a baby, but also how they stay the same. For example, now I have a sudden interest in:
1. Babies (especially my own). I guess this is understandable, but I never used to be as interested in babies as I am now.
2. Sleep. That's also self-explanatory. Not just mine, Petike's too.
3. Nutritional information. I never used to scan food labels as carefully as I do these days.
4. Vaccines. Before I thought that people who didn't vaccinate (except where the child had a reaction to a vaccine of course) were just misinformed. Now I think that they're endangering my child. I guess my protective instincts have kicked in. Luckily, the anti-vaxx movement is practically non-existent in Hungary.
5. (Not an interest but) Suddenly farts are funny. They never were before.
Things that haven't changed:
1. Knitting/crocheting. I still love it, I just don't have as much time for it these days. That's improving though!
2. Reading. Now in digital format so I can bring it everywhere, but it's a life saver sometimes!
3. Games. Well... very rarely but when I have time I will happily lose some time in virtual land.
I'm sure that list will change later, as the little one grows and as life happens, but it's surprising how much interests change in just a short time!
That all sounds very familiar, we all chagne some of our interests as our life changes. And I totally understand your anti-vaccine scare. I just don't understand people who would endanger not just their own but also other people's children. Guess some people just want to be misinformed as the global warming deniers.

It seems part of it is that they feel they are smarter than the "normal" people who believe the scientists. It's a big conspiracy theory thing usually, and from what I've seen, some of the anti-vaxxers can get quite vicious in defending their choice.
