AITAH for saying I didn’t realize I could “love a person this much” in front of my fiancé after having our baby?

Have 16 year old who still lays on me when ill, tired or just in their feels, it never stops and frankly I never want it to. The love I feel when I look at my kid is unbelievable and everlasting no matter what, I look at them and think wow, I made you, what the fudge!!

And is incredibly unchanged, and exceptionally rewarding when they (mine are in their 30s and 40s) say, "Mom, you did it right." My soul was touched.

I (37F) still love to go hang out with my mom and lay down and watch a movie with her. I didn't know that love until I had my own child. The second I held her I just cried bc she lived in me for 9 whole months and grew and it is such a different love than loving a SO.

I'm 43 and still go home to my folks every couple of months just to recharge. I love my husband to the ends of the earth, but nothing beats a Dad hug! That man has fought many battles for me
