I have kids that I raise, they are great kids, I love them to death but if someone thinks kids aren’t a burden (of any sort) than they’re lying.

    Yup.

    I’ve got two (5,1). I absolutely adore them both, but I’d be lying if I said that having kids hasn’t made my life significantly harder, my mental health significantly worse and my sense of self significantly weaker.

      One thing I can say is enjoy it while it lasts LOL!

      When they get older you miss those days when they were small and easy to understand. Those teenage years, hell.

        I guess at the very least I get to enjoy their excited faces when I get home from work. Can’t imagine you get much of that when they pass you on the way to their bedroom later on?

          You are correct, although in my case with my older kids they like to hide that they’re happy when I get home lol
