[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter will be 3 in October. It's often exhausting being a parent to a young kid while also working FT, but I love her so much I want to just envelop her. 
[b]
I'm not someone who doesn't see my kid's flaws, but at the same time there's a part of me that looks at her and thinks "wow. she's just incredible." I don't mean that in a superficial, bragging sense. I mean it in an indescribable, visceral sense that I think only my husband and I could understand when it comes to her in particular. We think it purely because she's our child. [/b]

At the same time, I'm happy to put her to bed at night because I know she's safe and cozy in her crib and DH and I can have time together. I'm happy she's in preschool because she loves it and is getting a lot out of it. I miss her while she's away, but I'm glad to have my job and my time on my own as well.

It's hard to explain, but it's absolutely the most incredible experience I've ever had. [/quote]

This. We know our kid is kinda weird and definitely has scales but my husband and I sometimes sit around and half-joke about how sad we feel for everyone else whose kid isn’t as great as our kid and how lucky we are that she’s ours and totally perfect in our eyes. (Knowing full well that all parents sit around thinking their kid is the shit)

Before becoming a parent I was head over heels obsessed with my nieces so I wasn’t exactly surprised by the intensity of love you feel as a parent but I was surprised by how emotional I get when my dd genuinely hurts or feels sad (ex. parting ways with grandma or being left with a new sitter) I choke up and feel her pain in a way I never expected. And when I’m super proud of her the tears flow too. It’s kind of embarrassing so I find it comforting when other parents can’t help themselves either. [/quote]
