Do you have a dog? The best thing I feel like I can tell people about parenting is how you know you wouldn't get up and go to a park and sit on a bench and enjoy it for yourself, but you take a dog to the park to watch them see the big world and explore it, and their joy in that experience makes something really meh and turns it into something you enjoy and want to do. Parenting is a lot like that. A lot of it sounds really horrible without the context of loving your kid.

We don’t but we were already in the process of looking for one for when I move in. Looking for a berniedoodle or something like it! This is a great analogy though, thanks

Puppy + baby is hard. Not saying don’t do it, but it does come with its own challenges.
