You're Not Managing an Inconvenience

In the latest issue of Mothering magazine there's an article about breastfeeding in which the author states, "Remember: You're not managing an inconvenience, you're raising a human being."

Something to keep in mind during those sleepless nights when we just can't figure out what's making Henry so unhappy.

And something to ponder, too, when you see parents who seem annoyed that their children have needs that must be met. Sometimes I think people have children just because it's what people do.
