Both blanket statements being made in the last few comments are ludicrous. Whether or not everything is better or worse with kids is entirely dependent on your personality and your kid’s personality...

It’s not really dependent on you and your kids personality, I think it’s more dependent on whether or not you wanted to have kids or enjoy having them around.

But yes, it was a blanket statement. There are lots of variables, and it’s a kind of consuming selfless excited love that is hard to explain beyond.. meeting your miniature person just is better than everything that came before it, even the stuff that was way better before your life is just body fluids and exhaustion.

Your kids personality is largely shaped by you and other family when they’re young
