"You are never ready to become a parent."

I see this phrase a lot. It is always regarded as absolute truth, but I take issue with it.I do think you can be ready to have a child. I think there will always be issues that you didn't plan for, but that's with anything you do. There are things you can't plan for when you go to college, but that doesn't mean you aren't ready to go to school. The same goes for buying a house. There were issues with my first place that I couldn't have planned for. I don't think that means I wasn't ready to buy my house.I know that I was 110 percent ready to become a parent when I did. My son is 9 now and that feeling has never changed. I never felt like I was unprepared or not ready. I don't think I am out of the ordinary at all.Does anyone feel this way? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2qQCPe7
