It does. Completely. And the delightful parts vary so much depending on so many circumstances. What some love others loathe and vice versa. But the relationship forming and watching them grow in so many ways is the essence of why it’s worth it.

This x100000: “If there were more support systems, updated research, resources and financial aids for parents and mothers in particular maybe then we wouldn’t even have to consider, is it worth it.”

I have reliable childcare and it’s easy for me to say it’s worth it. It’s even hard with childcare! Great truths here
