Get politically active
What you won't do for yourself, you will do for your children. You might actually go out and vote for the first time in your life on an issue you didn't know you cared about before you had kids.

Either you or your partner may need to put career(s) on hold. It is possible to juggle two careers with the childcare option etc. but you may have a child that will require a stay home parent.
