Oh, and you know that they poop, right?
(I hope that doesn't offend anyone.)
it happened most strongly for me at age 24 and then at age 33.
then I became a part-time mom at age 40 for 10 years, til she grew up and didn't need me (sniff) and I LOVED the experience, and it was just what I wanted.
I'm glad you clarified yourself as the comments unfolded, cuz I had a different impression of what you were saying when I just read the opening post.
