Things you've learned as a parent...

[jericho]

Those feelings you’re secretly feeling of depression, sadness, anger, etc…are real. They’re aren’t directed at anybody, so please try not to misplace them. They are accompanied by feelings of joy, elation, pride, etc. and are occurring at the same time causing conflict. Acknowledge them, but try to ignore them. It’s real, but it’s also the best feeling in the world when you know why they are there.

When you have kids in your 40s the energy level isn't there everyday.

I was 42 when my daughter was born, my only child. I don’t know what it’s like to have a kid at a younger age, but I know it would be really tough to have another at this age.

I mean, I was in my 20s when my daughter was born and there were times I had to power through but it wasn’t exactly a cakewalk.

I’d probably die if we had another one now.
