[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one will be honest with you. You will love your kids more than your life but it is kind of a drag. Also, disregard all posts about cuteness, sweetness, hugs... They will all become teenagers. No one thinks of that when they think about having babies.[/quote]

Yes, they will, and they'll smell and roll their eyes and maybe have big problems and also be amazing.  When they're teenagers, it's not that they're adorable, it's they they'll say something you have no idea they were ready to think, and the way they are full of frustrated magic and you can barely touch them.  You can really not enjoy being around them, and feel rejected and powerless, and still have some appreciation, even reverence, for their struggle to become themselves.  [/quote]

[b]Well, that is all true and I was not trying to be discouraging but I do think parenting is kind of a drag all the way through. It also wonderful and magical but the drag part should not be denied. And, in all honesty, sometimes I think that I can't bear the pain of watching them go through all of the difficulties of life and being powerless to change any of it for them. I can support but I can't fix and that is very very hard for me[/b].[/quote]

So, so true.[/quote]
