They're more of a novelty item, and a big pain in the ass. But what they represent is potential, and as they grow, that love you feel with keep growing as you are able to engage with them more. Welcome to the roller-coaster ride. When you start to be able to talk to them, to play games, and to take pride in their accomplishments, it's really amazing. Then when the get older and start to assert their independence and defy you, it really gets frustrating. What an emotional trial we sign ourselves up for!

I think people are all different in the way they accept new life.

As for me, I was pretty much an orphan most of my childhood.

As an adult, my experience with my children mirrors yours. I come to terms with each child and their personalities.

Contrary to popular belief, most women don’t automatically bond with their children when they are born.

There's a lot of stuff going around in one's head when you suddenly are in full control over and responsible for someone's life.. Me, as soon as I saw my newborn daughter I bursted into tears of joy, and I would have literally killed anyone if they had threatened her. Mother's instinct awoke the same instant and I didn't have any trouble getting adjusted to the changes it brought into my life. I still wish I could experience it all over again.
