There is nothing better than being a parent. Yes it's hard work, and I can understand logically why more people my age are choosing not to have children. But...it's the greatest thing in the whole world. It's what makes life worth living. I'm not writing this to convince everyone to go out and have babies...I'm just saying that if you're lucky enough to have children in your life, for God's sake enjoy the hell out of them. Laugh with them, read an extra bed time story, build a frickin blanket fort, let them be silly and loud and wild when you can. They are your ticket to a second childhood and a lifelong best friend, and you are their chance to have a safety net of love and acceptance that will teach them not to accept less in other relationships. Don't blow it, and don't forget to enjoy the ride.
