      - with older kids, I've learned that I really, genuinely enjoy talking to and interacting with primary-aged and older children. Who knew?

      Basically, what I'm saying is: it's totally cool that some people really love babies *in particular*, but it's not a parental requisite.

      Sidebar: there's a thing some people do with babies, where they enjoy their passivity/helplessness because it makes them easy accessories.

      Which, on its own, is fine - babyness is a stage to be dealt with! My objection comes when parents resent this loss as the kid gets older.

      I am very much not a perfect parent. I spend a great deal of time worrying that I'm really terrible at it and feeling hellish as a result.

      Being a parent has shown me defects in my character I never knew I had, made me realise I can be impatient, exacting, quick-tempered.

      For someone who's always considered themselves domestically easygoing, if not outright slobby, realising I have some hard limits was WEIRD.

      I give zero fucks about clothes and towels on the floor, for instance, but dropped food - a thing adults don't do so much? That GETS TO ME.

      And realising that has made me reevaluate myself. I'm constantly trying to figure out "is this actually a bad thing, or just a bugbear?".

      It is so very easy as a parent - and often tempting - to double down on an arbitrary verdict or irritation just to seem consistent.

      The kid pushes back; you want them to listen to you, so part of you wants to escalate in turn. And then you think - does this really matter?

          Every day. Over and over. Trying to reevaluate behaviour & expectations - his & mine - to better fit an ever-changing developmental context.

          Which is why, to return to a point, I find it so confronting when parents of little kids especially don't seem aware that they're growing.
