I see a lot of commentary, especially on Lemmy and Reddit, about how awful children are and how wonderful adulthood without kids is. And if you don’t want them, more power to you.
On the other hand, many people are parents and love having children! I want to hear some of the positive stories. What about being a parent makes your life better? What’s your favorite thing about your kids?
Well said. I sometimes moan about my kids when colleagues who don’t have kids ask about it. Perhaps that’s unwise, as I don’t want to put them off. It’s just that there’s no way to tell them how profound and amazing being a dad is. It just doesn’t feel right to tell that to people who haven’t - and indeed may not - experience it. It’s seems almost cruel.
