[quote=Anonymous]Kids are the one choice we make that we can never do-over. And there's really no way to know what parenting will be like until you're in the trenches with YOUR kid. I know lots of friends that think their kids are the greatest thing that ever happened to them. And more than a few friends that have come to realize they don't like parenthood and regret having children. That said, I think a lot of personal feelings about parenthood are strongly colored by the temperament of the child. My sister's baby is incredible - sleeps 10 hours per night without interruption, perfect health, is a good eater, and just a happy personality - and thus my sister loves being a mom. My SIL? Both her babies were colic'y, had health issues, did not eat, and my SIL has not slept for more 5 hours straight in 2.5 years. The parenting years are extremely rough for her and she just breaks down crying. She's miserable in parenthood, even with a very supportive husband.[/quote]
