Kids require A LOT of sacrifice. There is no 'me-time' unless it can be stolen for a few minutes during nap time, or inside a locked bathroom, or paid for, bribed, or begged from a loved one. Forget ever being able to sleep in again... once they grow up it's concerts, games, doctors appointments, play dates, birthdays, and the list goes on.
Kids are also a long term investment. Never know if they'll pay dividends but it's a damn fun ride watching them grow.
When truly unselfishly invested in them, kids bring a satisfaction to a human soul that is almost uncomparable. They never turn out they way we think, they have minds and personalities of their own, and as a small payment, we get to go along for a short while and watch.
Because of our love for them they also have the ability to challenge ourselves like no one else is able. Its the most frustrating, exhausting, absolutely infuriating, satisfying, transformative, heart swelling experience ever.
