Question by Aloha: How old were you when you had your first child? Did it make you grow up? How did it change your perception?
I love to read comments (stories) of how children have enhanced the lives of their parents. Too often I hear of how “children are a burden” or “they cost a lot of money” and “my kids bring me grief” and so on. While these things are certainly unescapable; there are many wonderful memories and dreams to come, about our legacies. Will you share your experience?

Best answer:

Answer by texas_angel_wattitude
I dont ever view my children as a burden, costing me money or bringing me grief. I am blessed to have them.
