There are so many great comments here; I don't think it's possible to describe to someone who hasn't been there. It's not an intelligence barrier; the simple experience of parenthood is impossible to convey.

You'll become a better person than you ever thought possible, and will become acutely aware of your every character flaw. You'll never know if you're going to regret it, but you won't care.
