[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duh! I see so many unhappy families with kids and I feel pretty smug that my DH and I are childfree. We are together because we love each other and not staying together for someone else's sake. [/quote]

I feel sorry for you. You literally don't know what you're missing.[/quote]

Huh? What am I missing? Spending hours making small talk with other parents while some pipsqueak plays laser tag? My time is way more valuable than that. [/quote]

Np. I’m sure I look at my kids with mom goggles on but what I see when I look at them strikes me as beautiful and lovely. I was watching my 6 yo swim around in a pool today pretending to be a mermaid and I thought how cute she was and how I was so lucky to have her in my life. I find them endlessly fascinating. My son just flopped down next to me and I thought “how handsome is he.” He is beautiful to me.

I have these kinds of thoughts all the time. Just looking at them brings joy and pleasure to my heart and raising them gives my life purpose, meaning, and structure.

Not to say I am never frustrated or tired or angry. But the positives vastly outweigh the negatives.[/quote]

I think being married with kids is easy. It’s like being in college just fulfilling fun and trivial pursuits. Europe check, conference about coloring for adults check. Being a parent make you re live childhood and see things in a new way. Not just beauty in your kids, but yourself being passed down. It’s a feeling something hobbies or kayaking will never do.

This is nonsensical in both content and sentiment.  [/quote]
