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

Many such cases of these foundational shifts in mindset after having kids. 

It does change things. A lot. You never could have imagined how deep you can love someone until you have kids.

100%. Made me realize how precious we all are and how so many parents are real life superhero’s.

I think the additional surprise I had was how much I loved other peoples kids. I mean I had an inkling that I would love my own kids, but I didn't quite grasp that I would love humanity more as a whole, and appreciate my parents as well, and my parents' parents, etc because they must have put in all this work and time, to make us all who we are. Just thankful, really.
