their life or their lifestyle. What it’s going to look
like – less leisure, lack of sleep,” says Urban Balance
therapist Joyce Marter. “It’s about reducing the
negative impact. We’re not going to get rid of
stress, but we help make it as positive as possible.”
Marter has her clients make a list of every single

arrives, from 3am feeds to mowing the lawns. The
couples then agree on who will do what. Boundaries
when it comes to in-laws and friends are decided
within the confines of her office too, as is whether
it’s okay to post photos of the baby on Facebook
and Twitter.
