While I can not fathom a parent saying their child wasn't worth their work, I agree it is HARD work! I have two small children, study online (fulltime), and run a business at home. I understand how hard raising children can be, even with help.

When I was younger, I thought I'd never have children. I actually hated being around other people's kids. I thought they were brats, to be perfectly honest. But I guess that's the difference; MY kids are my own. lol

Anyway, now that I have children, I could never imagine my life without them. Yes, they ruined my shape and gave me stretch marks, wake me up at 2 am, pester me while I'm trying to study or do housework or do filing, etc., but they are my babies and I love no one more than I love them. They are my existance and who keep me going each day.

My life forever changed when I had my boys. I can no longer leave the house whenever I want, to go out with my friends or just down to the store, without either getting a sitter or taking the kids with me. They come before me in all aspects of life. And there are times when I think about being single and childless. But in all honesty, I am glad they helped me grow up. I've learned how to be truely selfless and how to love unconditionally. I've learned how to be an adult and their mother. As far as I'm concerned, there is no better or deeper love anyone could have, than for their children.
