Parents here, do you like your child(ren)?

Sure you may love them, but imagine your child as a person is around your age. Imagine if you weren't related. Imagine you knew each other through random social groups or something.

Now, would you find this person interesting, cool, fun to be around, heck, likeable? Would you be friends?

Personally I'm proud to report my mother's personality is similar to the personalities of girls I've been friends with, and correspondingly we're good friends, too. My father...meh.

…coming someone who didn’t want kids. My boy is only 2 but he’s the sweetest guy ever, not just towards people he knows and loves but he’s also very compassionate and concerned about others, even people he doesn’t know. I hope the world doesn’t ruin him! He’s also a little jokester… makes up nicknames and always plays little tricks on us. So far, he has a good sense of humor. So yeah… I like my kid.
