and then, just when you THINK you have it sorted, it changes…. 18 yrs later, life is never as expected, nor are you ever ready. But, it is always entertaining, always a challenge and always amazing. And whern it’s not , find the grandparents (or next best thing).

Neither are anything near close.

Emotions that will make you want to be run over instead of your toy. Watching your favorite toy morph into the thing that burnt down your pub, but continuing to love it anyway, then watching it morph into the thing that overran your life, became your life, is your life.

You experience the kind of torture they don’t have in Guantanamo Bay but the minute it’s gone you want it back - like a moth to a flame.
It’s like your first broken heart but in reverse, instead of wanting to die you want to live.
All the pain=pleasureX2. The pain IS the joy.
What you think you know as love doesn’t compare to being a parent. It’s the biggest challenge ever and the only reward you get is in your kids eyes when they look at you with a look that says; forever you will be loved by someone, more than how your parents loved you, and that they want you to love them no matter what the costs.

I am wavering between thinking I want to be a Dad and wanting to be a DINK for the rest of my life.  Reading this thread makes me want the DINK life, I hate reading what parents write about having kids, I really do, it’s same stuff regurgitated over and over and I can’t stand reading/listening to it.  I especially don’t like people who think they are superhuman for bringing up kids, get farked, people have been doing it for literally thousands of years, you’re not special or amazing, you’re just another parent, get over it.  Flipside is that your kid isn’t a unique and special snowflake either, they’re just another kid and outside of you the parents and their grandparents, no one else gives a damn.

Sorry for the rant but my FB and some of the general conversations i hear these days is all about peoples kids and frankly I’m over it.  I would prefer to have kids without some preconceived notion of what the experience will be like.  Others are constantly telling me and other friends exactly what will happen when I have kids with some air of superiority and magical additional maturity that instantaneously manifests itself within them once they or their significant other pump out a child, all thinly disguised as advice.  Keep it to yourself, if I’m going to have kids I don’t want to hear about it other then the mechanics of getting the kid out with both mum and child healthy.  I can only imagine the “help and advice” level goes up exponentially once you or your significant other are actually pregnant.

Actually I think it might come down to that basic need of some people to be able to say “I told you so.”  Please begin with the “well with that attitude you shouldn’t have kids anyway” comments.
