You know... all I can say about kids is...
They may be fulfilling... but they are certainly not everything.
And once you realize that the latter being otherwise is a highly medieval and impractical concept, only then can you begin to appreciate the true wonder and amazement of being a parent. That it is different and full of sacrifice and juggling and working around things and budgeting and splitting yourself and your time and control and a lot of other stuff you probably did on some other level with some other aspect of your life, one time or another but just awesome once you get the hang of it. But not surprisingly, it's what happens when you take on anything --- something has to give. And I mean, shit... even Jesus irked people with his presence despite his godliness and all of his miracles. Your kids are not saints all day everyday (the closest probably is when they're asleep, looking like cute ass angelic cherubs). But then again, neither are you.
And that's ok.
Once you've accepted that it's ok, then you can go back to being human and not live within the socially misconstrued mores of being "mother" and "father." I mean, we're supposed to be a more "sophisticated" people in this day and age, but that doesn't mean we are incapable of finding absolute divine beauty in something/someone despite the earthly demands and responsibilities that come with it.
Did that make sense?
Anyhow, I like this picture.

Besides, kids are funny. And if you allow them your kids can become your bestest friends.
