Kids are your direct access to consciousness and the easiest way to realize your programming. My journey to being aware (and in the moment) was not completely understood until I realize kids are one of the biggest keys to find higher frequencies. As parents, we think we know so much more than them, and we can show them the best possible ways to do things and to feel. But the truth is we are only trying to instill in them the same programming we received when we were little. Realizing kids are not "yours" is one part, then comes the commitment to be honest and to treat them with the same levels of respect you will show another human. It completely changes the dynamics and the experience as a whole.

I love my kids, and I love helping then find their purpose in this universe. And every time I want to strangle them, I remember that I am probably just projecting some bullshit on them, I sit with the feeling and then truly try to understand why do I want to strangle them.

I don't think kids are a choice, but instead they choose you. If you are ever chosen to be a dad, I am most certain you are exactly what that kid needs. Soooo, stop resisting, stop freaking out... no parent is ready for kids, but helping someone you love so much find a way to survive, be happy and embrace challenges is just amazing.
