“Parenting is definitely finite. And that works both ways. On one hand, on rough days, you can take a deep breath and remind yourself that you won’t have to deal with tantrums and full diapers for the rest of your life.

On the other hand, you have to remind yourself that you’ve only got a limited time to spend with your kids while they’re still young. My dad said he used to remind himself of that — both parts — all the time, and it made raising us much more fulfilling.” — James, 32, Michigan
