What makes all the sleepless nights worthwhile: Your child coming up to you on his own initiative to give you a mushy kiss.

That should be its own thread, things kids do that make it all worth it. B'h I feel like I could fill it up on my own.

Oh COME on! How is this worth a sleepless night? Get real.

Say your kid came to you and said "Tatty can I give you a mushy kiss and then scream all night?"

No one on this board would say yes. No one!

It's not a one for one deal. But the whole package? Absolutely yes. And this is leaving out the hashkafic and halachic imperative, just the joy of children.

Let's agree that it's not a fair deal, but it is ok as a consolation prize.  :D

Ok, I'll say what everyone else is thinking:

The premise of this thread is not the type of thing that everyone feels but is too ashamed to admit.  It's not.  Most of us appreciate the gift of children, and find the hardship, grief and aggravation that comes along with them to be well worth it.  You have a problem, and you should seek help (elsewhere).
If you don't care why would you comment?

I don't know what percentage on this board (or in general) feel one way or the other, but for you (yehuda s) to act like it's impossible for someone to feel that way is ludicrous.

So far no one has said they'd take the offer in a one-to-one exchange...
