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?
Seeing children learn and become their own person is pretty awesome, even better when it is someone you raised. It is a long term project that has a ton of difficulties and learning experiences and other memories.
Like a more demanding pet!
