Description of partner is v. beautiful. |
Your description of the experience of having children is all true, but none of it outweighs the sheer joy you get from watching a human being which you created and love intensely grow into a person you can be proud of. It's funny how the people who think having kids is awful are those people who have never had them. It's a bit like me saying that Australia is an awful place, although I've never been. |
Well I couldn't have put number 5 better myself. For the record I have two delightful rugrats who I love immeasurably, life without whom, I can no longer imagine. But that description is alarmingly accurate. It also explains the now alien nature of number 4... Crikey number 5, too. Ah, compelling stuff. Carry on. |
oooooooooo, partner description is excellent. bravo. |
Alan - I hope my parents would agree with your comment. I suspect they'd also agree with some of my comment though... And Gert and Dave - thanks. Can't say I wrote that particular description from experience, though. |
Ooh you do paint a gloomy picture of children! Sure having a child (2.6 kilos in my case) means you make changes in your life but the degree to which is down to the individual. The baby stage is very short. I don't think I necessarily made any sacrifices - they can adapt as much as you can. Plenty of people use them as an excuse though. Your choice. Ultimately it's been the most rewarding experience of my life. I'm a parent and proud of it. |
