It's amazing, the changes you can have in your relationship with your own parents when you have a child of your own.
BTW, I have recommended these two books already, haven't I? If not, take note: these two were the most helpful to me in making my transition to being a parent:
When Partners Become Parents: The Big Life Change for Couples by Carolyn Cowan and Philip Cowan and The Transition to Parenthood by Jay Belsky and John Kelly. Both were very helpful in helping me understand why my relationship with my parents and husband changed because of the baby. Lots of insight, v. encouraging. Also good at helping me ward of potential problems.
