Ever since I was young, I knew that my life included children. I did not know how it was going to be or with whom, but I knew one day I would be called, Mom. Fast-forward, 20 plus years, and I still feel the same way. The only difference is that I am now married and have children. But if I am frank, I wish we knew how difficult raising kids was going to be before we had them.
Our 2 kids have changed our lives in many ways and have brought us joy and disappointments too. Undoubtedly, they are very important to us, and we would not change them for the world. The truth is that staying Happily Married with Children takes a lot of work and an enormous amount of commitment.
