Giuliana Rancic covers the weekend issue of Chicago Sun-Times Splash magazine to promote her upcoming NBC show, “Ready for Love,” which she will co-host with her husband, Bill. The show sounds like a “Bachelor” knockoff even though Giuliana attempts (in this interview) to distance her project from other reality-based dating shows. Also, her words make it quite evident that Giuliana can’t make up her mind about whether or not she wants to have more kids. Here, she says that she’s very interested in doing so, but a few weeks ago, she told Us Weekly that she’d always wanted a big family but admitted that one kid is a lot of work already, so she’s not sure and that “as of now there’s nothing in the works.”
About a month ago, she controversally stated that she and Bill “put our marriage first and our child second, because the best thing we can do for him is have a strong marriage.” At first, I reckoned that Giuliana and Bill were actually spending quite a lot of time with baby Duke (who is currently seven months old) and perhaps just taking some special couple time to go out on “adults-only” dates and such, which seemed wise. Then the very next day, they hopped on an airplane for what looked like a baby-free vacation, which seemed very bizarre. There’s no way I could have spent over a week without my daughter when she was a baby, and I couldn’t ever do it now that she’s a pre-teen either. Their baby may have been on a later flight as Giuliana posed for some candids in the pool at her resort with him about a week after they left. Here are some excerpts from the Splash interview where Giuliana elaborates a bit more on her and Bill’s efforts to balance marriage and baby:
Advice she’d give her younger self: “You’ll never use geometry. So don’t sweat that D, girl. I wasn’t the best student. Instead, I was being social, having fun, developing a sense of humor. And these are all skills that help me every day.”
On “Ready for Love”: “It’’s unlike anything that’s ever been on TV,” she says of the series, which pairs three men with three expert matchmakers who help them screen potential partners.
Is it possible to find true love on tv? “Not on ‘The Bachelor.'” The difference with her show, she claims, is that the female cast members know exactly who they’ll be dating — before accepting applications, Executive Producer Eva Longoria introduced the bachelors to the world on “The Today Show” last spring. “Women applied if they saw something about a certain guy and thought, ‘I want to get to know him.’ That initial connection is so importan. It’s like when I met Bill. It was love at first sight. I knew there was something about him the second I laid eyes on him.”
More on marriage first, parenthood second: “Your marriage is the first example of a relationship that your child is exposed to. Bill and I are always kissing and holding hands and loving on each other in front of our child, and I think that’s so important for [Duke] to see. I want him to respect women. We never want to lose our marriage or ourselves. We made a vow, and we plan on keeping it.”
Bill is sooo romantic: “Bill doesn’t even drink coffee, but every day he insists on making my coffee. And you know why? Because his dad made his mom coffee every day, and he thought that was so romantic. A couple of weeks ago, I was at a shoot that was running late, and I was supposed to take Duke to a mommy-and-me class. Let’s just say I didn’t quite make it on time, and a certain someone had to fill in for me. And if you know my husband, that is not his cup of tea.”
She’ll pull away from E! in a few years? “I’ve accomplished everything I’ve ever wanted to. I’d love to ride that wave for awhile, then eventually pull back, spend more time with the baby and Bill in Chicago. Bill’s made no secret of not liking LA. And I’m not a big fan, either. There’s something about Chicago we love. I have great friendships here, the people are wonderful and it’s where we want Duke to go to school.”
Will she have more kids? “We’d only be so lucky.” But even then, Rancic won’t hide from the cameras. “Our long-term goal is to host a daytime relationship show together in Chicago.”

Like I said already, I agree that couple time is very important for parents if they can manage to grab a few hours here and there away from their kids, but I think Giuliana and Bill are taking things to an extreme by perhaps vacationing away from their baby during his infancy. I guess I just don’t understand the “high-pressure” lifestyle of an E! “Fashion Police” diva, or maybe Giuliana and Bill weren’t as ready to assume the parenting lifestyle (such as it is) as they once imagined. That probably sounds super bitchy of me to say, but Giuliana would freely judge me as a parent, so you know, she can deal.

Sounds like a completely moronic and screwed up plan.
Just exactly what you’d expect from the woman who did not even accept to gain a bit of weight to try and conceive a child.
Exactly
+2
Regarding the Vacation I could be wrong, but I thought there were pictures of her with the baby in a pool. So maybe he was with them after all.
I think everyone should do what works for them, but I think children if you have them should be your first priority. Relationship first for me is when you are not a parent and after they are more independent. But yes I agree. Children learn about relationships by watching how their parents interact. That is a major truth.
I’m surprised about the more children. She seemed to want them so badly or he did, now I guess the reality is different than the dream. But she and her husband look happy together. So…
Maybe the kid met them there after some time alone. I’ve done that (daughter was 3). I plan on doing it annually, but wouldn’t have done it when she was an infant.
I think she wanted ONE. Maybe. He wanted them more than she does it seemed like.
I could only stomach their show for a bit but I remember one episode where before her cancer surgery she had one last chance to grab more eggs and this was it, she actually asked the Dr if she could wait because there was some red carpet thing going on that week.
Bill put his foot down said no, since it was their “last chance” before her breast surgery. I honestly think she would of gone to the red carpet event instead.
Yes, I am sorry she had cancer but I honestly don’t think she wanted to have kids for her, I think she wanted them for HIM and she thought he would bolt if she/ they couldn’t/ didn’t.
I still like him so far but I think G is changing him as time goes by, and she is far more fame hungry, money hungry than he is. Sure he likes to make money but she likes the BIG fame, the paps, the big name brands, etc. He likes security. Not Hermes.
To me they are no longer suited and I don’t see them lasting for the long haul. The baby is just a band aid for now, which is a shame.
I’ve said it before, but I really think “have baby” was something on her checklist. Now that she’s done it, she’s moved on to something else. And besides, having a baby, and being a mom are two entirely different things. I think she really wanted to do the first, and not so much the second.
Bingo! now lemme check you card…
I’ve worked w/ SOOO many of these ‘On Papers/Degrees Framed Hanging on Wall’ folks. They define success/happiness by what they reflect, not w/ what happens behind doors.
ie: East coast blue blood/double degree Harvard 3 kids and 4 nannies, ex-Harvard law wife is a ‘stay at home’ mom who dictates the house staff and even has a CHAUFFEUR escort the dogs to/from a Napa training facility…
3 kids + 4 nannies – hands on Mom (‘they’re hands get too sticky’)= Douche Future People version 2.0 BUT, who got front row tickets to the Lion King Christmas Eve (seated by nannies on each end, no parents in sight)?
extreme, but I see a lot of it in bay area and/or folks who strive for it.
@erika – Just curious – What state do you live in (or were you referring to in your comment)? (If you don’t mind my asking). *Is in Baltimore Maryland*
If you look like she does, you probably don’t have the greatest judgment anyway.
I am so sick of this praying mantis chick…it’s bad enough she is all over E now she is taking over NBC.
I couldn’t get past the b***s*** of: “Instead, I was being social, having fun, developing a sense of humor. And these are all skills that help me every day.”
Are these also the lessons she’s going to teach her kid – how to do terribly at school? And that it’s OK because only socially awkward geeks do well at school…?
I get that she might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I hope she doesn’t actually believe that to be one of the ‘cool kids’ you have to be a complete dumba**. Maybe my school was just different though!
I know right? Because so many of us go on to be entertainment television personalities.
That bothered me too, like she was fine with being a bad student. She never struck me as a genius though.
Marriage isn’t always the right fit for some people and life sometime happen. I’m sick of people getting all superior just because they were married when they had a kid. Being married doesn’t equate to having a loving healthy relationship. Especially considering the divorce rate in America. I’d rather have my one single parent who puts me before anything else on earth, than two married selfish d-bags. And her advice to her younger self is messed up. Education is incredibly important. I didn’t do so hot last semester, I got 2 B’s and a D, I’m normally an honor roll student. Yes being social is important, but learning and getting good grades is beneficial to someone like me who can’t flip her hair and get an E! Show and make millions. What she does requires zero thinking capabilities as she demonstrates. This chick grates on my nerves.
That’s nuts. At my high school, we knew you needed good grades to get into a good college. And you needed a good college for a great grad school. The cool kids wanted to get into an Ivy League school too and everyone wanted to earn a full ride.
My kids are 10, 7 & 3 and we love parenting. However. We’ve always practiced “relationship first” because without that connection there is no family. I agree that it teaches our kids what a great relationship looks and feels like AND it promotes a healthy marriage for the long haul – our kids are going to grow up, you know?
I’ve seen so many relationships break up becaue the parents (one or both) put the kids first – put the kids in charge – and the spouses end up feeling neglected or like roommates. It’s a disservice to your relationship and to your kids, IMO.
ETA – For us relationship first looks like this: Kids have early bedtimes so we can hang out together, we sneak in lunch dates & weekends away whenever we can. Because with three kids, it’s just so easy to become lost in their world – school & sports & lessons & drama. So it’s not like by protecting our relationship we’re neglecting our children – at all.
I don’t know..
It sounds to me that you are talking about BALANCE..not relationship first or kids first..But finding the Balance of trying to give both the time they need.
You seem to be doing a good job of balancing both.
so maybe the best word to Balance.
well said, very. and coming from a parent who’s got three under ten, that’s not easy.
I’m not a mom, but, I would have loved to have seen this mantra applied to my parents marriage. Granted, they were/are v. supportive, stable, fair/ethical and did a pretty damn good job raising 4 kids to adults all over 40…but, i consistently saw (and still do…) my Mom (an awesome mom) slighted, ignored, and ordered. Dad ruled like the Lion of the Jungle (fyi: NEVER abuse/cheating, NEVER) but used work as his ‘mistress’ and still to this day makes an effort to emotionally alienate himself from daughters and daughter/in/law.
My mom is strength/Lady/class but I hated seeing her retreat to 1953 AND I would have loved to have seen a kiss, pat on the bum or ‘honey’.
Honestly, I’m not married/never was at 40 and I’m not ’cause I would wilt if my relationship ever ended up like that and to ME years n’ years of married seems like it does (my siblings are all like that).
Regardless of how you feel about her, what she said shouldn’t be that controversial. Putting your relationship first doesn’t mean ‘pretend like you don’t have a baby’ it means giving your marriage relationship priority overall. Yes, your baby’s immediate needs take priority for a long time but the best thing a child can have is a secure parental relationship. Children find security in that! And it’s important Bc I have too many friends whose parents put all their energy into their children and after they grew up and left home their parents got divorced Bc they didn’t even know each other anymore.
Relationship first over baby mantra from THIS woman is probably due to baby not fitting her perfect ideal of rainbows and sparkles just like the reality of being pregnant didn’t fit the ideal seeing that she refused to cooperate with DRs to put on the weight she needed to increase her pregnancy chances, but she can’t say it to the public directly so she’s probably read about the mantra and is now spewing it as though she’s some sort of wise guru.
She can’t answer a direct question about the baby or any future kids. She’s trying so hard to deflect, but it’s so obvious motherhood isn’t her thing.
She talks almost exclusively about herself and her husband. The kid is an afterthought. I guess husband fits the perfect ideal in her head.
I think relationship 1st is fine, children don’t develop well if the parents aren’t strong. Now, vacationing without a little baby is too much as that is prime bonding time.
As for weight gain, she had cancer so I imagine that had a lot to do with the decision.
The cancer didn’t come along until well after that. In fact the prevailing thought is that she got cancer from the infertility treatments. That she was getting *in part* because she wasn’t following doctor’s orders to gain weight.
Infertility itself is a risk factor for cancer. For example, as someone who has PCOS I’m at an increased risk for endometrial cancer. However, my clomid and HCG use (to become pregnant) do not put me at a greater risk for cancer.
The general consensus is that fertility drugs do not increase your risk for developing breast or uterine cancer. In addition, some studies have looked at fertility drug use and other kinds of cancers (thyroid and skin cancers, for example), and they have also found NO significant increase in cancer.
Here’s an article that discusses some of the flawed studies
http://infertility.about.com/od/infertilitytreatments/i/drugrisk_cancer_2.htm
I don’t get the fuss of the vacationing without the baby. My friends do it. It’s not like they abandoned the baby to foster parents and never came back. 1 week vacation without the baby is no big deal. Everyone has a different parenting style and no one is above each other.
The vacation was with the baby. For a few days before their official vacation they were in Chicago for her fashion life premiere. That’s the photo you saw of them in the airport alone and, hence, people assuming they were flying off on vacation alone.
I think “relationship first” couples are lazy and unwilling to make the sacrifices necessary to raise small children. Obviously it’s easier to skip off on vacation with your spouse and declare that you’re “strengthening” your marriage than to stay at home and breast feed your child around the clock. I have a hard time picturing my grandparents’ generation saying that they need to “put their marriage first” and leaving someone else to do their work.
It boggles my mind, honestly. To *me*, once a child enters the picture, your life becomes *their* life. You brought them into the world. They should always be #1 priority. They’re your beautiful, healthy children.
Reminds me of KimK’s answer in an interview recently about how if the Mommy is happy, the baby is happy, so she’s going to do whatever she wants.
Sickening they can have children, but countless others can’t, & would do anything to have a baby.
This is just so not a big deal. I have two children that I love more than anything but I still put my marriage first. It doesn’t mean I ignore my kids, I stay home with them, breastfed them til they were 1, made their baby food. Everything, my kids are everything but my relationship is still first. When he comes home I stop what I’m doing and great him, they aren’t allowed in our room and other things like that. My children are loved and cared for and are so important to me but I want them to see a healthy relationship and strive for it. Plus in 20 years my house will be kid free and it will just be the two of us, I plan on having a good relationship with the person I will be spending my days with.
oh dolce mama mia, how’s ’bout a weight GAIN plan in 1st place? then a chop chop at the bee-YOU-Ty salon some point down the line?
she’s beautiful, has a fun personality and rancic seems like a great chap, but my God, ‘Skeletal’ is what comes to my mind every time I see her on TV. I know her jawline and eyes pop out, but w/ a tiny bit of weight gain she’d be more striking. if she’s that skinny on TV, yikes in person…
No wonder she is such good friends with Rimes. Two selfish peas in a pod. All those years yearning for a baby, and she can’t handle the pressures of parenthood? Needs week long breaks from him? Perfect example of someone who wants a baby, not to be a parent.
she annoys the heck out of me.
Yes! I also have always found her annoying. I don’t have a problem with her marriage first philosophy, but I do have a problem with her fame whoring. How in the world did this woman become famous? There are many people who could do her job. She’s so attention seeking.
I really wouldn’t be surprised if she’s one of those celebs who uses her child to further herself (i.e. marketing baby and child related items, using her “New Mom” status to brand herself, etc.). She seems like a very calculating person.
I guess I answered my own question-that’s in part why she’s famous-she’s calculating and knows the right people to talk to, etc. It never ceases to amaze me how people who don’t seem to have much in terms of talent but are experts in self promotion do so well in this country.
Don’t know if I believe her when she says she’s not a big fan of LA either. The only way I see her happy in Chicago is if her and Bill do get that daytime relationship show she mentioned. Giving relationship advice is part of their intentional branding as a couple.
Sounds like you skipped the important part of becoming a mom: selflessness. Someone who has been through what she has might have a better idea of what’s important but, then again, she was lucky enough to be able to afford to get over it and get new boobs.
I have really great, amazing parents, who I may not agree with all the time-which is normal, I’m a teenager, I’m going to do what I want to do sometimes. But my mom especially led by example. My mom thinks that when you have kids, that’s it. They are your priority, along with your partner. You don’t go out at all hours of the night, when you’ve got a baby at home. My mom only went out once, when I was a baby. She left me and my twin brother with a babysitter, came back twenty minutes later to grab something, and saw that I had a thumb shaped bruise on my face from the babysitter. That was the last time I had a babysitter who wasn’t family. My mom maybe goes out once every three months, and that’s recently.
I know you’re supposed to strike a balance, but a lot of people put themselves before their kids. One example is a lot of my cousins. The sad thing is eighty percent of my cousins (including my older sister), of my generation have kids that are over eighteen, and none of them are with the same guy/woman they had them with, except for ONE of them. Very few of them have actual jobs/are working to make something of themselves, are all on public assistance, and party and drink like they don’t have to worry about money.
A few years ago, my mom went to my sister’s house to see everyone, and they started drinking. P.Diddy put out some kind of vodka that mom said was really,really good, but very expensive- so expensive that she couldn’t afford to buy it with four kids at home. Guess where she drank it? At my sister’s house, with a bunch of people who couldn’t afford a down payment on a non section 8 apartment.
I sound a little harsh, I guess, but it’s hard and sad. I love my cousins, and I know that my mom and her siblings are really disappointed because of the way they turned out i.e. want to get with all the “thugs”, etc. The majority of them are very selfish when it comes to their kids. I just wish they’d stop dating the idiots they hang out with (if they aren’t drug dealers, they’re useless and lazy-no JOB), start planning for the future, and get themselves on their feet.
My mom’s still doing that with my sister. She’s 25, and she’s had to move back in with us twice. My mom has made it very clear to her that the only reason she’s helping her is because of my nephew. Other than that, my sister and mom have always butted heads because of my sister’s attitude.
Sorry to hijack the thread on an slightly unrelated topic, but I feel really strongly about this. My mom has five siblings, and out of all their kids, I am one of the very few who doesn’t have a kid (and don’t plan on it any time soon-babysitting my nephew, and all my cousins kids for a few weeks during the summer is the most effective birth control ever).
In case I got sidetracked, my point is that when you are parents, you can’t just treat your kid like a pet. My parents haven’t ever. You decided to have a kid, you raise that kid. Don’t go out partying or on vacations, and don’t have a kid when you don’t want one.
You may only be a teenager, but you sound wise beyond your years 🙂
I think going out partying all the time when you have young children at home is unacceptable. However, I see nothing wrong with a 3-day vacation every now and then without the children.
To me, there is an argument to be made that a brief reprieve from the kids actually helps the parents feel refreshed, less stressed and hopefully helps them be better parents overall.
I grew up with parents that were always very present in my brother’s life and my life. But my parents also had their own time together, usually after dinner.
My bro and I would just go play or watch TV and we knew that that was my “parent’s time” to enjoy each other’s company without us kids interrupting or bothering them.
Looking back, I think that was a really wise move on their part. It showed us kids that our parents valued their relationship and that their marriage was something distinct and separate from our family dynamic, that it was something special that needed to be nourished.
I don’t know…I guess I just don’t see the idea of a vacation without kids as some form of neglect.
Mr.Smurf: thanks for sharing your story :)I can understand what you mean and I also agree that when people decide to have a child they should make that their first priority. A child needs the support and care of a grown-up, so it’s not difficult to understand that.
Despite that, I also agree with TheOriginalKitten. I think you need some equilibrium to everything in life and a relationship also needs some work and some alone time. If it is a 3 day holiday where the child stays with family or a night out to catch a movie, I don’t really see a problem there. I actually think it’s healthy, specially when the child is not a baby anymore. My parents did it every now and then and I think that also transmitted us a good sense of what a relationship should be.
When you manufacture a child in order to use said child as an accessory or an attempt to keep your name/fame in the spotlight, this is what you get.
i see food is way down on the bottom of her list.
“She’s got more angles than an isosceles triangle” – Joan Rivers
Well, everybody carried on about the holiday and them leaving the baby and they were wrong. They weren’t away from the baby for 11 days.
I said back then the photo of them alone was them going to Chicago, because they were tweeting once they arrived about their fashion line show there and the restaurant. Those two days they were working, not on holiday. After that working weekend, they were then shown in Hawaii with their baby on the beach. So it was a week-long family vacation in Hawaii after their visit to Chicago for work.
With all the crappy couples I see and the way they talk and treateach other, having a loving relationship I think is admirable. You just don’t need to carry on about it when your baby is only six months old and when you are consumed by the little one’s needs. That’s what is annoying, carrying on about this at six months.
Who needs these facts, though, when CB is around to make up fantastical stories for judgmental purposes?
Sorry but I stopped reading after the geometry comment. Apparently being a lollipop head on TV is more important than using her brain. I get this is advice for her younger self, but that doesn’t stop little girls from reading this and thinking the same thing. SMH
Yeah, what a great role model. It’s like my mother used to say. “Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt”
If they’re happy, that’s great, but why do we need to hear about it ALL THE TIME?
I can’t see her ever giving up E and the whole Hollywood hanger-on scene, I think she likes it way too much, and all the attention she gets on E.
That show looks pretty bad, and “producer Eva Longoria” pretty much tells me I can skip that one.
Wow, her husband gets her coffee…Big F*cking deal. It cracks me up when celebrities act like they are so awesome for doing things that normal people do routinely. My husband gets me coffee all the time and cooks breakfast.
My guy went to Glens Falls to get me a shamrock shake because the closer McDonalds didn’t have them.
I really don’t have anything against the “marriage first” philosophy. I think it’s so important that you don’t lose sight of yourself or your marriage as a parent, and to model a healthy, loving relationship.
And, to be frank, I *need* alone time with my husband. It keeps me sane.
Since our son was a few months old, Hubs and I have had a weekly date night and Son spends a few hours at his grandma’s. We do vacation alone about once per year, anywhere from 2 days to a week. As an individual, it is a need for me, and it helps me to be a better parent. And in terms of our marriage it is vital that we have a chance to reconnect without the stress and BS of everyday life.
We do lots of fun stuff with our son too, and I can say with confidence that he does not feel unimportant or neglected. We both make an effort to spend quality time with him, separate and together, and to meet his needs as well as our own.
Part of being a strong parent is having the self awareness to recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Parenting is a weakness for me and it does not come easily, but by taking care of myself and my marriage, I have the energy to continually improve myself as a parent.
I know that a lot of people who have a real problem with the “marriage first” philosophy, but I think it’s one of those things where there’s no real right or wrong answer. Different strokes for different folks, and all that.
That said, her geometry comment really ticks me off.
Blarg.. her PR assistant needs to fine tune her better married parents relationship data.. this doesn’t compute with their actual ‘brand’ star life.. to plain human life reality.. Get the first child a companion so he doesn’t miss them strategy?
Man, I am SO TIRED of this Baby-Stewie faced stick figure and her equally plastic husband.
So, according to her, the ‘messages’ that she wants to leave her child, are:
1) Don’t do well in school. Its more importantly to be in cliques than it is to be smart
2) Have a child (well, in her case let someone else have it for you) and then brag about NOT making that child your #1 priority.
No wonder this country is so screwed up!
What happens when the marriage doesn’t pan out? Then , will she put her new boyfrined/relationship first, too?
She looks like a foot.
please explain to me how she got successful.
When the child is still a baby, then baby comes first and all other things come second.
I think its great for any parent to have lots of help, so they can catch up on sleep, have proper food, and have people clean their house and help up so they can rest and have the energy to attend to their baby. However, taking a vacation or being away for a day or more from your BABY is just wrong.
You can have a date night, or breakfast together while a nanny takes care of your baby.
They can even hire a night-nanny, so they can sleep all night and have their nights to themselves without having to care for their child.
I think my problem is that I’m sure that with their money and attitude, they are probably getting all that help (which is great- as happy people make happy parents), but even with all that help, they still go on vacation and her statement makes me cringe.
I thought she was self-centered and a bit narcissist long ago, and now I’m afraid that her attitude towards others is now directed at her baby.
It’s not ME first (or me and my husband first). It’s supposed to be BABY first.
I have never understood how this woman made it as far as she has in television.
Celebrities and their paid gestational carriers make me nauseous.
People who don’t believe in relationship first then baby mantra never had parents who loathed each other. My dad made me the priority and ditched my mom(not literally they are still married), mom grew jealous of me and beat and verbally abused me for my dad loving me more than her (this all came out wayyy later when I asked her after therapy). To this day, I have been out of the house 14 years (moved out at 18 because my mom was desperate to get rid of me, wanted my father to herself), and yet, my parents haven’t slept in the same bed in 15+ years! They have a miserable marriage and I have always felt I was the cause of it. My mom also was resentful of being a stay at home mom (even though she elected to do so).
I DO have an issue with her blatant anorexia and how it may affect her son.
*hugs*
this lollipop head is gross
she is all bone – how can that be comfortable having sex with? yuck
Her geometry comment reminded me of the Barbie controversy when a speaking version of the doll said “Math is hard”…..
I’m still not sure what they need a vacation away from… Or how much time that kid gets with his parents. Did they have him just as a plotline on their reality show or what?
“There’s no way I could have spent over a week without my daughter when she was a baby, and I couldn’t ever do it now that she’s a pre-teen either. ” I am sorry, but it seems to me that the one that has problems is you.
Geez, she looks like skeletor.
I really get annoyed when people who have the money to employ people to do the heavy lifting in their child bearing/rearing bitch about how hard it is. Are we supposed to feel some sort of sympathy for her? Not.
I really hate that she said that because honestly, children come first before marriage. Last thing Americans need is to think more selfishly…goodness, Children will always come first! I know minez would.
