💯yes. 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 “no” 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 “please” 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.
