@july Or maybe because when you remember how much a person or people labored over someone to raise them — how much work it took to keep them alive — it makes you want to be more careful with them? They have more value(?) in that sense?

I used to see other peoples kids and thought they were largely a waste of my time and attention (before I had kids). Now after having had kids, when I see other kids, my friends kids, my extended family's kids, kids I don't know even know -- and I think about how much time I've dedicated to spending time with my kids and yeah, and how they are kids too -- and it is safe to say that it has really changed my perspective drastically, 180.

I care so much more for them because I know what it took, at least for me. And even if that's not the case for them I give them the benefit of the doubt and feel more responsible. In a way, I feel more responsible for the human race after having had kids

I feel sort of an obligation (?) not in a bad way, just a sense of pride that humans are all kids, and that we care, and that there is love in the world, and people still do care about things, I see mothers getting angry or grandmothers giving candy behind their parents back, I see people consoling kids when they are crying, carrying babies around because they are incapable of walking and navigating themselves, there really is this sense of act of service in the universe for each other and honestly I find that beautiful and I don't take it lightly
