I see a lot of commentary, especially on Lemmy and Reddit, about how awful children are and how wonderful adulthood without kids is. And if you don’t want them, more power to you.
On the other hand, many people are parents and love having children! I want to hear some of the positive stories. What about being a parent makes your life better? What’s your favorite thing about your kids?
I loved everything about being a parent. Sure my kid had his moments, we all do and that was ok, because I like to think I was raising him to do things the right way.
Also when he got to late high school and finally off to college is was also very nice to enjoy my free time and let him deal with his own labors of life.
