"I doubt that I was an easy kid to raise, but I also feel like if you have a kid, and especially if you go out of your way to adopt one, you ought to be prepared for them to be individual humans. "
This is one of the many reasons that I've opted to be child-free. I love the lifestyle I live and if I were to have a kid that had varying hobbies (they could hate farm life!), I would have to carve more time out of my day to curate their enrichment. I couldn't fault them for not loving the same things as myself, and to be a good parent, you need to make sure that your child is also able to express themselves with the things that fuel their passion.
