What is the worst feeling ever?

[LochnarITB]

Your salutes and envy should spring from another reason than the mere exertion of birthing a baby.  After all, the really hard job - that of raising them to adulthood - has only just begun.  Just ask any of the many other parents in this forum.  B)

I probably should have said more. While the salute was, in part, to the exertion of child birth but the envy was not. More so, the salute was to the fortitude necessary to raise the child. The envy was for both the 9 months (40 weeks?) leading up to the birth, morning sickness, cravings and all, as well as the connection that the mother has to the child. Certainly, some mothers never do feel that connection and some very involved fathers can come close, but I don't think men can truly come to feel what most mothers do.
