Not to make a parenting article about trauma because now I totally identify with not wanting kids to age. My daughter is so friggin much fun right now I don't even want her to nap because I want her to hang out with me
Even your adult kids can be pretty cool. I spent most of last week driving two-thirds of the way across the country with my older one, and it was great.
i feel like parenting is full of little moments that prepare you for bigger moments later, and the missing your child as soon as you put them down for a nap and you're left with that "what do i do now?" thought definitely feels like a miniature empty nest test run.
CS Lewis wrote that of all human relationships, the love a parent is the most difficult love of all because it "is the only love which seeks its own abdication." I read that years ago but think about it all the time now.
That's a whole lot. Couldn't finish it

My enjoyment in parenting directly correlates with baby's ability to interact, so I can see how adult kids will be fun
