I can't tell you how it will be, of course, but I can share my experience. It's going to be tough (in a way), but skip to the end for the good news. Small children are completely dependent on adults. Most of their needs can't be skipped or postponed according to your schedule, so there's that. Children are hungry or need a nappy change, it can't wait. So most things will revolve around that. Children get sick (and that's natural). Their immune system is learning, so they catch many things and need trips to the doctor, night nursing, lots of crying, etc. Fortunately, with modern medicine most things aren't dangerous, but it will tire you physically and mentally. Children need stimulation. Believe me, playing games, teaching them, tickling their intellect will pay off hugely. I alway resisted the temptation of just giving them a tablet with flashy images or turning on the TV. This will probably remove any "spare time" you have, but make them curious and stimulate the imagination, you will definitely see incredible results in a couple of years. Now the good news, for the people that have a healthy relationship, atter as little as 3 or 4 years, you will get your best little buddy. When you start sharing inside jokes, when you can discuss the plot of your favourite cartoon, when they say "I love you", it will bring tears to your eyes. It's an incredible feeling.
