This has been stated a couple times but I'll just reiterate it. To me, the choice of having kids was because it's a life experience that I wanted to have. I wanted to know what it's like, to experience the shitty times where he didn't want to sleep consistently, to the great times where he just runs up and hugs me for no reason and asks me to play with him because he loves my company. It's a different kind of relationship than I've ever had before because you're so invested. I have spent countless nights with little sleep, every second of every day I have this little person I have to keep in my mind and watch over. By the end, I think it's almost impossible to not love the little guy with all your heart because you've put so much time and effort in it would be irrational to not.
