Awesome! Conversely, I always knew I wanted to be a father but I still could never have been prepared for how much I am floored by how she "melts my heart every single day." It's remarkable. It's a tremendous responsibility but not in the ways I thought it would be. Do I need to provide for her? Yes, of course. Do I need to change diapers and teach her the alphabet? Yes, all of that too. But the biggest responsibility seems to be an emotional one. She looks to me for guidance as to how to respond to her world. When she's scared she looks to me for comfort. -That's a BIG DEAL. NOT having someone you trust to look to when you are scared leads to disfunction. The responsibility is huge but it's way less to do with groceries and way more to do with psychology imo. I'm glad you are enjoying it. I thought you would.
My lack of children of my own makes me pretty useless to this discussion, but I just wanted to say how touching and thought-provoking threads like this are to read. Loving hubski more every day.
