I am convinced that the reason why my kids have become very fulfilled and achieving human beings is because I wasn't raising them alone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I can't imagine my life without my kids. Raising them has been the greatest joy in my life.
I would never say out loud that I am raising my children alone, but a lot of the time it has felt like that.
Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.
I've realised now that the reality of children is you have to be in the right place with the right person.
Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it.
It's not that I bounce ideas off of my children as much as it is that having children has had a profound effect on the way I see the world. They have mined my soul. They've made me a better person and therefore a more empathetic writer.
Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry.
Children are wonderful, and they add to my whole life.
I believed in raising my children as I had been raised.
My children without a doubt are my greatest accomplishment. If I did nothing else I would feel just having and raising them would be enough. The rest is icing.
