From the stories my parents tell me, children are double edged blades. You hate what they do sometimes, but if you raise them right and they follow the right paths, they turn into something that you can put pride into.
My mother tells me a lot about her pregnancy and raising me, she says it was a grueling 9 months, as well as a stressful transition through childhood to adolescence, but worth it just to see her healthy baby boy grow up all right.
Carol, you need to remember that while children may be stressful and a burden at times, but they grow into something magnificent when nutured and moulded correctly. Your child could become the next genius to come up with some sort of cure to an incurable disease nowadays. They could become an innovative mogul that changes the way we look at certain things. Or they could be normal, but they still do good every day of their lives, no matter the size of the generosity. Just food for thought.
