That is the main thing I have noticed about parents talking to childfree adults. They want to talk us into having kids.
Why?
Quoting: goodmockingbird Because its AMAZING! lol. Its sad to know that some people will never experience it. But you're right. We could never convey in words the feeling that having children gives you. The life altering experience. Its something one needs to experience for themselves. I am the opposite, if someone asks me what parent hood is like I tell them the truth. Pregnancy is the weirdest thing ever, your body goes crazy and you hate everything about it but one thing the baby growing. I even had bells palsy at 38weeks, not to mention peeing on your self and leaky boobs. Labor/birth was horrible (72hrs of hell before epi) differs per person. Than you have this fragile human that totally depends on you for everything and you have no idea what to do. Followed by months of learning and being puked/pooped/peed on so sleep deprived till you can barely function. Yet you love this child and live for the moments of epic happiness (smiles, giggles, milestones, etc...) I love my son, he is my everything, but it is not easy being a parent.
