It really is, and you just cannot understand it until you become a parent yourself. I used to roll my eyes when friends said that, but it's true.
This'll probably sound really cheesy, but sometimes I look at my kids and it feels like my heart will burst with the love I feel for them.
- tomrod 5y agoParent here, with teenagers. I wouldn't say it's impossible to understand. Imagine having a dog or other pet that you love ridiculously. Then one day the pet starts talking, reading, doing math homework instead of chewing your shoes as often. It's a wild ride.
- GordonS 5y agoBefore becoming a parent we had a much-loved cat, but, for me at least, the experience isn't remotely comparable. A talking cat sounds cool though :)
- tomrod 5y agoI agree it's a hard comparison, but in my mind it's a difference of degree rather than class. Familial love is an awesome thing. It's lack in a person's life, when desired, can be heart breaking.
