Pro u have a mini slave, con they wake up well early....n then there's the snot n constant whinin

Pro: they think up awesome stuff to do that I have never done and wouldn't have thought of.

Con: their father is a di ck

Pro: they often come up with some hilarious sh*t.
Con: its sometimes in a crowded place,like,a supermarket...

pro: Christmas,birthdays etc are awesome again,some of the toys and stuff are rad these days...
Con: Christmas,birthdays etc can cost a sh*t ton.

Lol @some of the replies.

Pro - they make me a better person
Con - they make me really tired

The positives far,far outweigh any negative aspect for me.
I struggle to think of any real negative that is not trivial,or selfish.

edit..
upon further thought,
I'll revisit this in 6years or so when my kid hits the teenage years....

Advantage: Can pass on your legacy and wealth to an heir. Can go places with them. They can up your social status and force you to find good work.
Disadvantage: Say goodbye to many of your freedoms, time, money, belongings and sanity.

I'm struggling to think of cons tbh. I took all aspects of motherhood in my stride. I've never grumbled at all the bits that people seem to screw their face up to.


They do talk an awful lot of sh*te tho

And being roped into playing my littlest pet shops. Nut, go away

Having to deal with other parents,kids,schools n a constant stream of people who will have an opinion on everything sounds offputting.and they dont make much sense until their teens.they cant become drinking buddies or anything for ages lol.u have to grow up fast...i regret that noone will ever love me the way i love my mom though

They want fkn everything

I love being a mother, I've been really lucky with my kids they work hard and do well at school. The only con is my daughter is super stubborn like her mum that can be a battle sometimes as it's like arguing with myself but I like she is strong willed.

That's not luck ...it's support ,encouragement and love from a good mum ...

All their hard work.

Idk. I think it's something you need to experience for yourself or you won't understand the joys or how demanding it can be sometimes. I haven't seen mine for a week, missing them tonnes.

They make my life better..i love them so very much xx

Pros: If you're the kind of person that ever felt like you didn't have much going on, having a child really just gives you that extra oomph, and helps to make you feel like maybe you really do have a purpose and plus, you get to be a role model/inspiration.

Cons: Okay, now where do I f*cking start?

I don't have kids ,I've observed my brothers and pals raising families ...I see a lot of celebs gushing over first borns saying it's life changing ...even from my neutral perch I think ...you have no idea how much yet
