One thing that no one ever told me about being a parent was that it would be so much fun. Getting to be the one who introduces another human to everything doesn't get old. Is it challenging? Of course, but everything in life has pros and cons. The bond I have with the little ones is something I'd never give up and life before was easy-mode. You do have to grow beyond being selfish though. Some people can't (and that's okay, they shouldn't be parents). That's what this picture makes me think.
IMO: the reason I don't want kids is because I can't imagine myself saying: "Now, after a long day of work at my full-time job, I can't wait to get home to my other, unpaid caretaker full-time job." IMO being a good parent is hard work and I if I were to be a parent, I want to do it properly.
I respect parents, it’s just not the lifestyle for me.
Yeah, I tell my kids all the time that without winter, summer just isn't as enjoyable, and that even in late August and early September I'll say, you know what, I'm ready to change it up. I don't have this expectation of perfection from any facet of life, including my kids and the relationship I have with them. The bads and the goods are all part of the experience, and to me the experience is rewarding.
But I absolutely don't fault someone for wanting perpetual summer. Summer is great.
Yea I’m sitting here thinking I’d love for my kid to go all Kevin Mccallister on this and just watch how excited they’d be.
Aww :)
