  1. this was a good read Nick, but i can honestly say that i cannot relate to her.my kids mean the world to me good or bad days, but my children have never made me unhappy. being a parent has never made me unhappy either.i can honestly say that i have never not wanted to be a parent. now i'm not saying that there has not been days when one of my kids are driving me crazy because it's one of those bad days,i'm just saying i have never felt what the author is describing.
