You know, there really is an endearing quality to children.
Coming from a big family it gets annoying to always have to watch over a crying pooping thing. How do women do it? I mean you ruin your body!
Anyways, anyways, it isn't always too bad. I've been surrounded by pregnant women and mothers all my life and every time they would explain the kind of joy or happiness or whatever good feeling that they felt, I could never understand.

That is, of course, until my niece was born last year.

By god, I despise her father and my sister I consider the greatest disgrace to ever roam this world but their daughter has unmistakably won my entire heart. I love all my family especially my other nieces and nephews but this is the only time I've felt pure joy from a toothless smile. Maybe it's because I'm getting older and with childhood long past I'm not being raised along with my siblings' children. I'm actually helping raise someone and even though it gets annoying sometimes, it's been such an enlightening and happy experience.
Now now, I've always hated kids (Don't get me started on teenagers) and since seeing a woman give birth in sixth grade I've vowed to never have children . So this is where I'll draw my line as far as having kids. I'm satisfied that I've pretty much have explored motherhood. I'm there when she falls asleep when she wakes up and when she cries. So it goes by a proverb I've heard since my childhood, "Padre es el que cria no pare."

I can't easily translate it but it's saying Your mother and father created you but your true parents your real mother and father are the ones that raise you.

With this I am now a proud parent.
I'm a mommy!

Yay!

High Five!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!!
