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?
Ooh, getting to share your hobbies with them too. Once my oldest was 5 or 6 years old we got to do so much fun stuff. Watching old cartoons I grew up with, playing DnD and Risk, it’s all great.
Im trying to enjoy the toddler stage of my youngest kid as much as possible but im definitely looking forward to getting to nerd out with him in a few years. Ive got like 5 Warhammer armies ready to go, I haven’t even played in a few years but once hes old enough its go time.
