Eh most days...LOL Yes, one of the best things.
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY KIDS, OKAY?
Being God is pretty much the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Please don't take that tone with us, Jesus.
Just turn the other cheek, child.

I love DH and he's a great man but the love for him doesn't compare to my love for the kids. Its so different.

Was LO the best thing to happen to my bank account? No, lol.
This. :-)
Also, without DH, I may not have experienced some of the great memories I have in my lifetime.
I love J more than anything, but I'm not sure if I can say, "Oh my gosh 1000X yes" to this question. I am not good with feelings. I definitely think my life is more rich and fulfilled because of her, but I also feel it's added a layer of complexity I wasn't ready for.
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!
I thought we were all your kids?
Dammit (oops, sorry, JC)...someone beat me to the punch.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
YES!! I feel now that my life has meaning.
Who is going to say "no" to this? I would major side eye anyone who says no. She is the best thing that has happened to me. I am a better, stronger, smarter, and happier person since I've had her. Life without her was pretty great, but totally different. I feel like I've missed out on certain experiences since having her, but the things I've learned and the level of love that I feel will never be surpassed because of her.
:-)
Yeah, me too, Ash. Side-eye all you want; I love my DD more than I ever thought possible, but without DH I wouldn't have her at all. So I might even love her more, but I still think that he was the best thing-- because he brought so many other amazing things into my life.
Yes, she and DH are the best things that ever "happened" to me.
I think it's ok for someone to not feel this way, though. "Yes" is the "right" answer, so no one is going to come in here and say "no, there are other things that happened in my life that were better", but I don't think it makes you a bad person/mother if you feel that way.
For example, getting out of an abusive relationship, surviving a life-threatening illness, overcoming some huge adversity like homelessness or a drug addiction.... I could see how all of those things could be the best thing that ever happened to someone. There's no shame in that, so ((hugs)) to anyone who might be reading this and feeling bad that they can't say "yes" to this question.
I don't judge anyone who feels differently. I actually applaud women who admit that they may not feel this way. The way women are "expected" to feel is unfair. I think our diversity at mothers, wives, friends, daughters, sisters, etc are what makes life interesting. I don't think I would ever learn anything if I was surrounded by a bunch of people who think exactly as I do.
