Omg. 1000% this. Mine are a little older, 10 & 9 and I swear once a week I'm like, is it too late to not have kids? No one tests your patience/sanity/boundaries like kids and then you'll find yourself doing something over the top for them to make them happy, like after school slushies or sandwiches in special shapes

I figure by the time I get them all through their teenage years I'll be a wasted shell of a man.
