[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What this childless person hears: blah blah, you don’t know true love until you have a child, blah blah, I became a better person after children, blah blah, childless people are second-class citizens who don’t have a life worth living.[/quote]

Well, that's your own baggage.  I have one kid and I can definitely say that there is a new level of lows I never had to worry about, especially with a SN child.  There is a also a new [b]level [/b]of highs that you will never experience.  Like...when my SN kid hits a milestone.  It doesn't mean that you are second class.    It means that I have highs and lows that you will never have.  It is not better, just different set of experiences, both high and low, that are now part of my life.

You are saying that your highs are higher than any childless person's highs.  That's absurd.  Your highs may be DIFFERENT, just like my highs from riding a motorcycle will be different from your highs hiking, but mine aren't better.  And neither are yours.[/quote]
