[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my child, of course, but  love a lot of things... my parents, my friends, traveling, a nice glass of wine, a great book or movie, hearing my song...

I feel strange that being a mom isn't so fulfilling that I don't mind seeing movies or traveling or eating in a good restaurant. I still love all those things a lot!!!

Chime in if parenting is nice but you feel where i am coming from..[/quote]

So if you have children and STILL enjoy traveling or eating in a good restaurant, THAT means your children are not the best thing in the world. Huh? That makes no sense. As another poster said: "False dichotomy."

I think having my children was the best thing in the world and I they have amazed me in ways I never imagined. I did not realize I had so much love inside me. AND I enjoy other things in life such as traveling, going to movies, eating at restaurants, etc.

+1. I can't imagine my world without the family my husband and I have created. That said in the past 10 years I've also grown and changed personally and professionally in many ways. One didn't stop the other, in fact seeing how creative and inspired my kids could make me encouraged me to pursue other pursuits. [/quote]
