[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Obviously I don't know what it's like to be a parent.
I agree with that 100%.
This experience did give me a good idea of what day to day life would be like.
These are my observations:
1. My house was an absolute mess by the time the children left.
2. I can't have nice furniture and have children.
3. I barely spoke to my husband. We were both too busy wrangling children to communicate about anything other than what was happening at the exact moment.
4. I didn't want to be touched by my husband at the end of the day.
5. I spent A LOT of money.
6. I felt like a zombie amd was exhausted the entire time.

I took 2 personal days in order to do this.  I can't imagine having to work full-time, raise children and keep a house in order.  These things, I feel, are fair representations of things you experience and go through being a parent.  These things happen whether you're caring for your own children or someone else's child.[/quote]

Parents care less than you do about messes and having nice furniture.  Plus, you grow into having a 6 and 2.5 year old around. They start as immobile babies.[/quote]
