All I can say is, you're 100% right! Parenting is the hardest and the best job. It makes me happy that younger women are realizing this earlier and earlier. Keep writing!

...and I imagine balancing a pair of glasses on steroids would be quite difficult. (Laughed out loud at that part!)

Amazing message! I believe parenting is really the most amazing job ever, to be able to grow with children, pouring all your love to them.

Praying that God will give me a child when the time is right, when He sees it right!

I went to school for physics and mathematics. I just couldn’t see myself doing anything other than research. I had changed my major from theology, not because I stopped believing in God, but instead wanted to unravel the mysteries of the universe around me. I am now a father of 6 kids and I wouldn’t trade it for being a scientist. Being a good father and a good husband IS my job. Where I go each day to pay the bills is just part of it. My love for photography is a call back to my artistic side which I believed I had lost along the way. It is my outlet of creativity.

Not that this is *why* you parent, but the ROI is actually pretty good, just takes AGES... eventually, you retire and your kids take care of everything for you. Then, live is pretty sweet, because you get to act like a kid again haha
