I'm curious to know what have you stopped doing or changed since you got married or had children?

I'll give you an example of what I mean. As a child growing up and into early adulthood, I often saw my mother eating raw chop meat when she was cooking. So since she did it, I also did it. Then when I got pregnant and I was told not to eat raw meat, and why, I stopped eating it. And now, even though I'm not pregnant, I would NEVER eat raw meat.

What have you stopped doing or changed since you got married or had children?

I wouldn't suggest anyone eat raw chopped meat--regardless of being pregnant...

Since I've had children I no longer feel a need to clean up all of the time.

Not all raw meat is problematic, it really depends on what meat and whose doctor. Even when pregnant.

Nothing since mom cooked healthy and so do I. Maybe I use less margarine in cakes and cookies since I got married. I can't think of anything specific really.

I stopped smoking. My husband made one comment to me - he said "I'm not going to tell you what to do, but you're going to be carrying our children." I stopped then and there.

I also was a bit of a daredevil - had gone skydiving, wanted to go bungee jumping, etc. I wouldn't do that stuff now.

Since kids:
Sleeping late.
Sleeping, period.
Subscribing to cable TV.
Reading a book a day.

Since I had kids I stopped reading the newspapers. No time.

(I miss it though)

Being thin, having time for myself, knowing where all my stuff is/knowing were something will be the next time I look for it, my own room and bathroom (really miss the bathroom!) I could go on forever.

But you know what? It's all 100% worth it!!
