A friend recently told me I shouldn't ever have kids unless I *felt* in advance that I would love them overwhelmingly. It seemed to me that none of us would be here if only positive-emotive people were permitted to have kids... but it was hard to explain just how hurtful her comments were to a thinking type who is considering parenting. Thank you for sharing, and for giving me something to talk about with my spouse.
