To me, being a [not so] new #parent is like being in love, minus the sexual attraction and the intellectual companionship. It's a comparable feeling of devotion towards that new person, and of ecstatic bliss when thinking about them or seeing them laugh.

@Demosthenes That's too bad. 😞 I know, from listening to stories from friends and relatives, that parenting mileage varies so much…
@tripu that is nothing like my experience. It was just 100% exhaustion and constant sleep deprivation
