Is parenting as fun as it seems?

I get the impression that parenting from changing there diapers and the whole nine yards. Is it really that fun? Or is it an imaginary thing that us single people have.You know like a natraul high till it hits you. I'm single want a child and never else to say a date as well.Is parenting as fun as it seems?
I think it is fun, it is not as glorified as u may think but it so has its rewards. I have a 11 1/2 year old and a 3 month old. Tough, hardest job I have ever had, but when they look at you and say I love you or the 3 month old has just starting laughing it is all well worth it!Is parenting as fun as it seems?
It is exhausting, hard work, challenging, frustrating, but overcoming all of the obstacles together with my husband and watching the kids discover the world %26amp; who they are in it is fascinating %26amp; wonderful to me. I really enjoy it, but I'm sure that not everyone does :D





Kind of like some people seem to really enjoy playing golf or nascar, but I, personally, find both kind of boring.
I have a 4 month old and it's really hard. I desperately wish I could get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep again. He is a joy when he's content but an endless source of frustration when he cries and cries and won't stop. Parenting is an enormous responsibility, having to feed every few hours, having to take an hour to leave the house when I used to take only 15 minutes (before my son came along), trying to get him to sleep when he fights sleep all the time. It's tough but it's beautiful when I look into his eyes and see how innocent they are or when he's fascinated with his hands and other things that we adults take for granted.
It's not always fun. There is a lot of work raising kids. Yes there is some fun parts to it, but most of the time it's a lot of work.
My parenting slogan is, 'The hardest job you'll ever love.' It is truly the hardest job I've ever had or will ever had. It totally consumes every minute of every day physically, emotionally, and mentally. Plus it's something that I was only willing to go through with a partner (I'd make a terrible single mom, kudos to single moms). It's definately something to go into with your eyes wide open.


My daughter is a great joy and she's become much more fun as time passes. I can't wait to see what's going to happen next. And her laugh and smile? Priceless!
i am not only a parent... but a single parent... and im telling you... build a close, healthy and nurturing relationship with your kids from the time they are infants... and parenting ROCKS!!!.... i wouldn't trade it for the world!!! from the smell of an infants breath to the wild and bazaar ways of teenagers... i've enjoyed every minute... there will be tears... that i can put money on... but being by their sides, watching them learn and grow is fulfillment within it's self and priceless!!!


i like your question... makes me smile.
It is DEFINITELY as fun as it seems!!





Its also 100 times harder than it seems!!





I wouldn't change it for anything!

yes, but challenging as well.
It should be to those of us that choose to bring them in the world,but unfortunately most change their views soon after into habitual complaining and whining of having a child.
You can't beat it!
I wouldn't call it ';fun';, but it's definitely something that can be very rewarding as someone else put it. There are many memorable moments in parenting. :)
Well,........ not necessarily fun but definitely rewarding.
