Parenthood always comes as a shock. Postpartum blues? Postpartum panic is more like it. We set out to have a baby; what we get is a total take-over of our lives.
The gain is not the having of children; it is the discovery of love and how to be loving.
Most of us would do more for our babies than we have ever been willing to do for anyone, even ourselves.
A sense of worthiness is a child's most important need.
