How Does It Feel To Have Children

How does it feel to have children? It feels insanely crazy sometimes, but it also feels blissful. For five years you do not get to go to the bathroom by yourself. Because a child is poking fingers under the door and sobbing, wanting desperately to be with you. Because you are their world. You are their hero. Their rock. Their safe place. They are your pride. Your joy. Your heart. It feels blissful, joyful, and humble. Sometimes you think you cannot bear how tired you are, Then you see their little faces, and you hear them snore And you know you can wash one more load of clothes. They can wear you out but they can also bring you up Fast and hard with giggles no one else has ever heard. They are your world, and you are theirs. There is nothing like a child. Two is better. Six, a dream. How does it feel to have children? It feels complete. It feels warm. It feels kissable and huggable. It feels right.

And not having them seems -- sorry for not being p.c. here -- unutterably sad!

Hi Caren, Having children is the best feeling in the world. Is it always smooth sailing? Of course not. But becoming a mother was the best thing that has ever happened to me. The love between mother and child is priceless. Have a great day my friend:-) Alexis

Being a mother has made this life worth living. Being a grandmother is infinitely easier! But you still never get to go to the bathroom by yourself.
