[quote=Anonymous]When I clicked on this thread, I was expecting to see post after post about how fabulous kids were and I was really surprised to see all of the people commenting how hard kids were and that it isn't worth it, etc.  I am not suggesting that children are for everyone, and that everyone should have kids.  But what I can tell you is that not only do I love but children, but I truly enjoy pretty much every moment I spend with them.  My DH and I work full-time, so the logistics can be tough (and expensive), but there is no greater joy to me than seeing my kids at the end of the day.  No matter how terrible my day at work might have been, and trust me, there have been many bad days, seeing my kids puts a smile on my face.  I love watching them grow, I love their relationship with one another, and I love being a parent.  I have never found parenting hard.  Sure there are times when I'm really, truly tired, ok exhausted beyond belief, and days when I feel like my kids are sucking all our life savings (don't get me started on how much ballet costs), but I cannot imagine our lives without them.  We still travel, we still go out to dinner, but just not as much. In fact, I want to be home on Friday nights with my kids and I don't miss going out that much.  Yes, there are some trips that we haven't been able to take (yet), and I'd love to trade our SUV for a convertible, but I have never ever looked back.  For me, being a parent is joyous, and it isn't that hard.  So, no, having kids does not suck.[/quote]
