My unhealthy affection for my second daughter has waned. Now I despise all my seven children equally.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like going away from my children.
A very painful part of being a parent is having really negative feelings about your children when you love them so much.
Everything with me is pretty close to the surface, but having kids has completely ruined my emotional equilibrium.
You have to love your children unselfishly. That's hard. But it's the only way.
When you have kids, for me, it really changed me. I was always empathetic to other children, but now I'm so much more sensitive to children that aren't my own.
Especially when you've become the father of two daughters, you hope the world can be a more gentle place.
I'm just passionately in love with my kids.
Children are wonderful, and they add to my whole life.
I love all my children, but some of them I don't like.
It breaks my heart that I don't see my daughters every day, don't get to hug them and brush their hair.
