What a beautiful moment, thanks.
For me, it was scary. I think there is a lot of tripe out there about 'Well, if I have the baby, once I put the baby in daddy's arms, he'll grow to love it.'
I don't think its true for either parent, as evidenced by this woman's musings on the subject. I think the whole disenchantment with raising children is something more commonly shared as a sentiment, but not spoken about, than we'd like to contemplate.
I will tell you that children are so far beyond worth it that I now have forgotten almost completely the frame of mind of the man that actually had to make that choice. It is impossible for me, however, to forget that I consciously made a decision. I think all parents do, but to the extent that they can point to a moment in time where they made that decision is questionable.
As I write this, Andrea Yates was found not-guilty by reason of insanity for drowning her five children. It just now was announced on Fox at 10:09 AM pacific.
