A. Parenting is both heaven and hell.
It is Super challenging! Truly it is one of the hardest thigns you could ever do. First you have a baby, and you get nooooooooooo sleep. There is no way to prepare for how horrible it is too be soooo tired. And this may go on for months. Not only are you tired, but the baby has so many needs, and you have to attend to them all. Feeding, diapers (stinky, messy).
Then the child grows and starts to push/test the limits. This requires the most patience. And it starts to become a test of all your emotions.
But the good far outways the challenges. Nothing can compare you for how much you will love this person. You might think you love your spouse/mom/dad/etc so much. You will love this child 10 times more. You are probably the child's first best friend and you are loved totally unconditionally (at least for a few years), and loved in some compacity forever.
Parenting will challenge you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
B. A person can never be truly ready for being a parent.
Being a parent is unlike anything you have ever done. it will flip your world on its head! If you are not ready to some degree, the adjustment will be very painful and hard.
At the same time, it is possible to never feel quite ready. Maybe you feel like there is not enough money, or you need to travel more, or you need a bigger house, or anything else that may be stopping a person.
It is important to remember that a baby does not need much. All they need is love! And clean diapers and a bit of food. If those basic needs are met, they are not going to care where they live, or if they spend there first year on a train going around Europe (if you are not too tired to do that). Babies and kids are very adaptable.
If you feel you can love another person, have a stable relationship, a roof over your head and enough money to buy basic food and clothing, you are most likely as ready as you will ever be!
C. This is very subjective for the most part.
It depends on your personal weaknesses. If you have a problem controlling your temper or having patience, or if you suffer from depression, or whatever your weknesses are, you will find that difficult to deal with.
But for everyone, I think it is be really hard to do everything for someone else and do little for yourself. After a lifetime of being catered to and then catering to yourself, putting this aside is hard!
Also, I think it is very hard on the emotions. So many highs and lows. and you have so much love invested in this person, you are vunerable to hurt.
Good luck to you!
