: insert parental rant here :
That being said you take the good days with the bad days. Personally as frustrating as it is when my son has a meltdown I know he's still my son, and we have to work a little harder at times but he loves his mother and I, and we will always love him. It leaves a boatload of tension in the house between himself and his siblings at times but we work through it.
It's not a reason not to have kids. That is a decision you make early on that you're not the parenting type and you devote your life to other activities.
