Those who already suffered/enjoyed

As the main purpose of our site is to get to know whether children are blessing or curst, let's consider them from all points of view. And to consider this problem properly we need to get to know the opinion of smart people that already experienced the life with children and either enjoyed it or suffered from it. Here are quotations of famous people:
"Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body." This quote belongs to Elizabeth Stone. And she recommends thinking twice before making the decision to have the child.
"We've had bad luck with our kids - they've all grown up." Said Christopher Morley. He was sure that childhood is the best time in the life of any person and that all of us should keep the childhood as much as we can. Unfortunately all children want to become adults as fast as they can.
"The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children." Clarence Darrow. Well, this author thinks that both children and parents can ruin our lives and again makes the confusion putting the problem whether children are blessing or curst.
There are a lot of sayings about children and all of them have wisdom, because all of them were practiced. In fact these sayings and quotes prove that children can be as good as bad and everything depends on the attitude of adults to children.
