I remember once chatting with a couple I knew. She was pregnant with their first child, whereas I had two kids, an almost 3 year-old and an 18th month old, I said something along the lines of “Becoming a parent has really taught me a lot about myself. I never knew I was capable of so much *rage*” & I laughed. But I was serious.

I think it surprised them (expecting to hear something more warm and fuzzy) – but the power of little ones to get you angry, especially when you’re sleep deprived really amazed me. Luckily, I also had the strength to master my emotions, but I had known that already. But the sheer power of it – I expected the love and the joy, but not the other stuff.

Oh yes! Especially when you let go of “cool” and get back to the magic of fun like only a kid sees it…

Don’t forget

They aren’t you – but sometimes they really are!

Before you meet your children it’s hard not to have this concept of little copies of you and your partner that you get to raise the right way (not like all those other parents, making mistakes all over the place). Instead, you have the dubious pleasure of getting to know completely separate people with wills of their own…who just happen to repeat things you’ve said to them (or their siblings) in your tone of voice exactly when you don’t want to hear it!
