She asked me the question because she was on the fence about whether she should have a baby. I remember that time in my life. I think I'm still at that time in my life. Should I have kids? But she was asking me seriously. I was her closest friend with real baby insight. What was the deal? Do the heart-melting moments outweigh the bad stuff and make it totally worth it?

Well... Yesno.

   When people say things like, "I don't even remember what it was like!", I cannot relate. I remember exactly what it was like. IT WAS AMAZING.  

As usual, I am a focus group of one. There seem to be a lot of people out there who think having (and rearing) babies is The Most Fun Ever. They are all like, "Oh my God! And then I get to quit my job and FINALLY buy that house in the 'burbs and make crafts All. Day. Long. and sing songs and, OMG, I cannot wait!" And I think those people are incredible. (Don't get me wrong, I love crafts as much as the next gal. I just like to do adult crafts. Alone.) Those people have a different genetic makeup than I do. I think my kid is awesome. All two hours a day I spend with him after living the working mum dream. And then I like to put him to bed and think about how I can't go anywhere because it's basically illegal to leave the house. JUST IN CASE. (There's a lot of "just in case" in parenting. I want to tell people to go ahead and stop talking to me, just in case I get violent.)
