Do you love your kids?
Is hard to explain, no. I always tell mine I love them more than they can imagine. And is true.
How love usually goes through life:
- Kid – don’t give a shit about anyone. You kind of “love” your parents and siblings, but how much really.
- Bit grown up – you start falling in “love” with random people. Get your heart viciously broken, ooooh no, how can I survive without this person now. Big drama.
- Eventually get married or start living with someone you really like. You do “love” them a lot but will survive if they leave.
Then kids eventually/hopefully come around and this is it. Everyone else just disappears. If you have more than one you always think fok me, can’t love the second/third… as much. But you do love them, more than they can imagine.
So there is no way of explaining how much. All I can do is hope one day mine will be fine enough to experience it. And in case this happens, I would want them to know I understand how much they love their kids.
