[quote=Anonymous]All adult milestones are double edged swords. Marriage has huge benefits but also requires a lot of patience and compromise, while limiting your freedom and options in real ways. Jobs/careers offer financial stability and social status, but also stress and responsibility. Home ownership can be liberating and comforting, but also a massive pain in the neck. Parenting is no different but I think offers more rewards than most. I find being a parent to be truly fulfilling in a way that very few jobs, and certainly no house, can ever be. Meaningful on a profound level. Yes it's a huge headache sometimes, but even on my worst day as a parent, I feel this indescribably connection to my child that gives my life shape and purpose. I do think marriage can come close to this if it stands the test of time, but many don't. With both parenting and marriage, you need to be emotionally mature to get the most out of it.[/quote]
