^^^perfection in defined differently in everyone's eyes and minds, yes. But you won't know that perfection he speaks of until you have one.
But, can't we think that children are perfect when they are born and that how they are raised can affect that pure, innocent, raw perfection of a child? If you truly feel and do everything possible to make sure you are raising your child to be healthy and happy- even if you make a few mistakes here and there- and you love and care for that child more than anything....that you have succeeded in being a parent.
That is what moonstrucksoul is saying. We both "experimented" together, with all our devotion, love, patience and compassion. And the connection with our children is the best imaginable feeling in the world.
yellowgowild and everyone else who wish not to have kids- in no way do i want to convice you to wanting to have kids, i can't do that anyways, it's not in my hands- it's your choice. However, sharing my experience can never be emphasized enough. To everyone who has not had a child yet (even speaking of myself before having my son) is that your perceptions of children and the relationship, values, benefits, joy, love, and experience with them will never match up to experience of actually having one. It's unconditional and immeasurable.
