This article, like most breathless endorsements of parenting, fails to detach personal experience from the actual experience.

Sometimes a mother doesn't immediately feel love for the child and instead feels an intense guilt for being so unmotherly in a world that talks so highly about the immediate connection between mother and child.

Sometimes a father won't feel the weight of responsibility and will rely on the mother completely to take care of the child.

Please excuse the genders, it also happens the other way around. Your mileage may vary with parenting. Don't have kids simply because you expect to feel this way... or do it, I am not your keeper.
