That I would become so immersed in my various intellectual pursuits that I would forget to feed the children, as I tend to kill all of my houseplants.

My husband pointed out that children cry when they're hungry, unlike houseplants. This seemed logical to me.

Aww hahaha seems like they didn’t starve. 😁

Apparently, 😁

I think I grossly underestimated how interesting I'd find little children. They are mesmerizing.

Hyperfocused on them for about 10 years. Thought of little else.

Oh God this made me feel warm things. That's so cute. My wife and I feel the same way about our little girl.

I feel like that about my nephews, too. Baby crack.

LMAO 🤣 🤣

Literally "it's not a but, it's a feature!"😭 🥲

Well, it explains why children cry, doesn't it? Had never occurred to me, before he pointed it out.

They signal when they need something. Brilliant system.

Make sense (?

This is the norm in nature, almost everything that passed the test of time has a purpose, when we fail to understand why most of the time is us not being smart enough to get it.

Children are both easier and more difficult, than I thought.

All the basic survival stuff quickly becomes routine.

Dealing with two additional people with their own personalities and desires is difficult.

It seems to be one of those "problems that are nice to have"

Agreed.

Or, as the Germans say, "Complaining at a very high level."

Is nice that you met someone with the same values and compatible life goals so early in life
