In my experience, parenthood has brought really high highs (staring at the most beautiful face you've ever seen, watching your child work hard and finally succeed at something) and really low lows (monotonous days of diapers, blocks, sesame street, and playgrounds, tantrums, sleep deprivation). DH and I have 2 and most days we say it's worth it...but others times I remember the relaxing days where nothing really great happens, but there were no crazy emergencies either. Life was just easy and pretty care free. Problem is I didn't realize that or really appreciate it at the time. |
