👨👩👧 A2 Dialogue — How Our Family Life Has Changed
Focus: comparing “before vs now”, routines, responsibilities, feelings, and making plans.
Hey, Jake… do you ever think about how our family life has changed?
All the time. If I look back at last year, everything feels different.
Yes. Before, we had so much free time. We could go out after work, meet friends, and stay up late.
And now we plan everything. Even a simple walk needs a plan.
I remember when we could sleep in on Saturdays. Now Lily wakes up at 7 a.m. every weekend.
True. And when she wakes up, the whole house wakes up. No quiet mornings anymore.
But I like some changes. Our days are busier, but they feel more meaningful.
I agree. Before Lily was born, I thought I was tired. Now I know what “tired” really means.
What is the biggest change for you?
My routine. I used to go to the gym after work. Now I come home, cook dinner, and clean the kitchen. Then it’s bath time, story time, and finally bedtime.
Yes, the evenings are full. And our shopping habits changed too. Before, we bought food for two days. Now we buy food for the whole week.
And we buy so many small things—diapers, wipes, medicine, snacks. I didn’t think about it before.
I also feel different at work. I’m more organized now because I don’t have extra time.
Same. I finish tasks faster. If I don’t finish at work, I can’t relax at home.
Do you miss our old life?
Sometimes. I miss spontaneous trips and quiet evenings. But I don’t want to go back. I just want more sleep.
Same! And I miss long conversations. At home we talk in short sentences: “Where is the bottle?” “Did you wash the clothes?”
Or “Be careful!” and “Don’t touch that!”
Still, I love the little moments. Yesterday Lily laughed when you made that funny face.
That was the best part of my day. And when she falls asleep on my shoulder, I forget the stress.
I think our relationship has changed too. We don’t go on dates often.
It’s okay. We are a team now. And we support each other more.
Next month, can we plan one simple date? Maybe coffee and a short walk, just us.
Yes. Let’s do it. Our life changed, but we can still make time for each other.
