[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually agree with the title of your post, OP. I'm not sure what the greatest thing in the world would be, but I felt more consumed by and more interested in the minutiae of my dissertation research, for example. At the same time, I feel a little superstitious about saying the kids aren't the loves of my lives; I would be devastated if something happened to one of them. But, I guess, it wouldn't destroy who I am if they weren't here (if we hadn't had them) in the way losing some of my other pursuits might feel like. Well, that wasn't very coherent![/quote] That's because day-to-day kid minutiae (especially when they're young) is repetitive and boring as hell. But your kids will continue to grow and mature and will love you back and hopefully be a source of ongoing emotional fulfillment for decades to come, unlike your dissertation. But I agree...false dichotomy. There is room for both and they are different experiences.[/quote]
