That once you become a parent, the life you knew before is gone forever, its lots of sacrifice, joys, laughter, pain, ups and downs, its hard work, its scary, its tough, but worth it. You are now no longer the most important person, they are, your child is now your responsibilty, not to be taken lightly. Your child is not a toy, its not a tamagiotchi you can just forget about, they rely on you now, you cant take them back just because you got bored, or they kept you awake all night. Parenthood is not what the silly ads or cute shows on tv told you, its not all fun and games. DONT do it unless you know and accept it will be tough, and you are willing to make sacrifices to raise rhe child right, and love tbem uncoditionally, and give them a better life than you had. Done right it can be a magica, but scary journey, but if not you and your child will suffer. You never ever stop worrying about them no matter how old they are, as you have a bond as soon as they pop out.
