[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get people who don’t think it’s rewarding. You don’t find it rewarding or satisfying to watch your kids turn into real people with their own interests, talents, abilities, quirks, etc.? I find the whole thing fascinating. It’s so interesting to watch it happening and know you had a pretty strong hand in their development.[/quote]

I don’t get people who think it’s rewarding. You find it rewarding or satisfying to tear from your vag to your a-hole while pushing it out, only to have to clean pee and poop for years, end up with a stretched out vag, spend $250k raising it only to realize your spawn is so very average and can’t get into a decent college to support itself?

Do you have kids? I think you misunderstood me.

I get why people might opt out of having them (especially because of the expense, as you noted). However, for those who do, I don't get the people who regret it and don't find it rewarding. Don't you love your kids? Isn't that enough by itself?[/quote]

This is so both naive and troll-y, it’s impressive.

No one knows what parenting is like, until you’re a parent. And then, you aren’t left with many choices but to mlive your life the best way you can.

Love, frustration, regret... all different emotions and aren’t exclusive of one another. Likewise joy, grief, sadness..

Humans have an amazing ability to feel a lot of things all at once.

How many times do you read on here about divorcing couples? Is love enough?

People who have to cut off parents or inlaws for racism, favouritism, etc. Is love enough?

Whether it’s your child or parent, love doesn’t define what other things your relationship will be defined by. Blood doesn’t determine it. Life does. [/quote]
