Having a kid is truly the experience of a life time. Not the happiest trip or the most depressing trip, just a real freaking trip. It stretches you. It molds you. It makes you grow. It makes you change your entire lifestyle. I love my children and there are many moments and days that I miss my pre-kid life. I wish I could leave the house and just take care of my self. I wish I didn’t need to spend 1.5 hours packing lunch, clothes and dropping them off before I’ve even started my work day. I wish I could travel without thinking about risking jet lagged children up all night, kids who won’t eat the local food and paying for those extra plane tickets and hotel and $$$$. But they have made me grow so much as a person. I no longer sweat the small stuff. I have learned to relinquish control, trust the process and they are the little faces I think about as I lay my head down to sleep. You can be happy either you choose to have a child or not – but you alone must make that decision and once you do, choose to be happy and fulfilled.
