[quote=Anonymous]I have one child who is extremely easy to handle (happy go lucky and compliant) and one who is extremely difficult (moody and defiant).  It's such a world of difference between them and sometimes I imagine what it would be like if both were easy.  Then I would probably answer your question by saying it's absolutely fabulous.  But I can't -- my parenting experience is sometimes very, very hard.

But - it has made me grow as a person, especially the difficult times.  I find strength sometimes where I didn't know I had it.  I feel like I understand humanity so much more deeply since I became a parent. I am so much more empathetic to others' struggles -- and attuned to others' joys-- because of my experiences as a parent.

And then there is the love, the deep, unconditional love that is like no other.

It is amazing to watch babies turn into toddlers and then into young children and then onto teenagers.  It's scary to try to do it right, but it is so rewarding when you feel like you have.  And the insight into human psychology that parenting can bring is itself rewarding.

They completely change your life.  Whether or not that sucks, well that depends on you.
