St. Mark

Thanksgiving

From the outside, some things look really difficult and un-rewarding. Raising children is one of those things — if you don't have children, or haven't spent a lot of time with your own, you will likely resent children and the time that they demand. [info]dvfmama writes about how she's seen my relationship with the kids change over the past year and a half. It was during that time that I really came to appreciate my own children.

This is similar to what Terah writes about Unsolicited and Unintentional Gifts — but at the other end of life.
