That’s temporary. Kids grow, they age, they mature. After a while, you start to learn more from them than they do from you.
Then they grow up and leave, they don’t need you anymore. I haven’t gotten there yet, and I’m both excited and afraid. But one day, if you love them, and if you prepare them, they will return the favor. They’ll be there when you grow old. They’ll be there to support you, as you were them.
The “kids suck” mentality is true, I agree, kids suck. But they only suck if you have a very narrow view on your and their lives.
Kids who have supportive parents will always need their parents even if they leave and are self sufficient. I’m sure your kiddos will still need you for a long time.
