Mom to a 4 month old and loving every second of it, after being so scared based on what I had heard from all my friends. Everyone made it sound like doom and gloom. 1) I didn’t experience that *at all* and 2) all those SAME parent friends now say: I know! Isn’t it the most amazing thing?!

I’m not sure why no one would say that BEFORE the baby came. It’s almost like there’s some code that you have to speak negatively about parenting to non-parents?

On a different note- I always thought about this as a long term choice and tried not to focus on the baby or early childhood stage. At 35, I hope to know this human for 50+ years if I’m lucky, and only 18 of those will be spent with them as a “child”. Mostly, I’m making an adult friend
