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?
Cuddles and playtime :) my youngest is just at the toddler stage where they grab your hand and direct you where they want you to go and I love it.
Also, when you’re carrying them and they snuggle into your shoulder. Melts me every time.
Adorable! I felt so special when my baby niece was crying for most of Christmas, except for when I held her and she burrowed into me for a nap ❤️
