>>6790808>kids will love you unconditionallyAnon, that's not true. It works the other way around. You will love your kids unconditionally, but they won't love you in the same way that you love them.
In my case, I love both of my kids unconditionally. There's literally nothing they can do that will make me stop loving them. Even if they grow up to be shitheads, I'll love them for reasons I can't explain. I love them more than I love my wife, my friends, my own parents, and even myself. It's a feeling that I never experienced until my first kid was born 4 years ago. I can't even explain it to someone who doesn't have kids, it's that weird.
As far as loving my parents. I love both of them, but that love can wane. My mom and I have an extremely strained relationship, and we always have. I always wondered if I actually loved her, or just had some weird sense of obligation to her. As I've gotten older, I've realized that it's more moral obligation than actual love. I have friends who say the same thing about one or both of their parents as well.
