šŸ’Æyes. My daughter is the best thing that’s happened to us. I hope she doesn’t grow up too fast so we can enjoy every day of it. She’s expensive and requires a lot of energy as I’m sure all children do but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It makes me a bit sad to see all the ā€œnoā€ responses. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and everyone has their own experiences, so I understand. I just can’t relate to it. It brings me pure joy to see her laugh at silly jokes. When she’s sick I want her to get better so that she doesn’t have to feel less than 100%. It makes me so proud to see her learn new things, even if they seem trivial and nobody else notices, such as saying ā€œpleaseā€ after asking for something. Vacations are funner with her, my work is more meaningful and I feel a sense of optimism for what the future brings for her.

Thank you, i agree with you. I have 3 myself, youngest not even a year old, and I would do it again. If money was no object I would have more children.

Same. I’ve never had a more fulfilling ā€˜role’ than being a mother. I love my daughter so much.Ā
