Gotta say, I really don't get more frequent reminders that I'm probably not ready to have kids than I do when I go to the grocery. I was there today just grabbing a few things and I see this kid just bawling their eyes out and, even though I know it's probably just a tantrum because they're not getting their way, my heart starts hurting and it genuinely upsets me. And if that's how a child crying makes me feel when it's not even mine then, phew... yeah, definitely not ready. Not that I'm in a rush or anything, for the record, but still. The curse of being a softie, I guess.
Oh trust me, that heart wrenching feeling and being upset for the child goes away VERY quickly when you actually have one. I now feel bad for the parent more than the child, because the poor parent has to deal with that headache. It hurts the first time your kid has a tantrum, but after that you just roll your eyes. Or at least I do.
