A lot of us are parents. I am a mother of 3 children whom I love deeply, but I didn't think that was the kind of love we were discussing in this thread. I thought it was the icky kind of love that was the topic.
Indeed.But icky love can still be wonderful,while it lasts.
In my reasonably long life,I've concluded that parental love (especially maternal) is the only reliable form of love.
BUT please don't think that loving your kids will stop you from fucking them up.
Note to parents (a father of five told me this): Apart from you and your immediate family,other people are REALLY not interested in your offspring.
