After having a kid, I learned many surprising things about parenthood and about myself.

One is the absolute joy of watching my little one do... pretty much anything. It's an infinitely more powerful drug than anything social media or entertainment companies have managed to invent so far.

Two is how much less judgemental I feel towards other parents, especially how reluctant I am to draw conclusions over small interactions where I don't know anyone's circumstances.

Needless to say, this article brought up very conflicting feelings for me!
