I believe it! There are some things I couldn't understand until I was married as well, but thought I could. I was wrong. Actual marriage is totally different.

So, the idea that having kids will also change and challenge some perceptions or ideas, and how things really work, yes, I totally believe it, and look forward to getting to know what those things are! 😎

Agreed. I'm to the point where I don't think people without kids should be able to hold office or vote.

You just don't have the same outlook on the future as those who have littles to provide for.
