"Kids will teach you, if you let them. They'll teach you that getting born is the easy part. Anyone can do that in a day. But becoming a well-adjusted human being? That'll take the rest of your life." https://blog.codinghorror.com/how-to-talk-to-human-beings/
Having kids has taught me that becoming a well-adjusted, caring, and thoughtful human being is a lifelong journey, not something that just happens automatically. Those early days of parenting were humbling, as I quickly realized there was so much more to raising a child than I ever could have imagined. The patience, the empathy, the ability to truly see the world through their eyes - it's been a constant learning process.
