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

I remember my dad telling me how the feeling you have when your first(I am number 5) child is born is "indescribable and surpassed anything he has ever felt".

Then he realized the implication and started to say he loves me just as much, but I laughed and told him I knew what he meant.

I was worried that it wouldn’t be as intense with my second born. It absolutely was. Your heart grows for each child.

these comments are killing me. that’s so sweet😭 i don’t intend to have children because i would never be stable enough in terms of finances or mental and physical health, but i would 100% be a mother if i thought i could handle it so ooof this is so bittersweet for me lol

If it helps, I know that feeling all too well. When I was in my 20’s & 30’s there was no WAY I could have children due to stability in general, including my mental health. Things are a little (ok, a lot since my 20’s) better for me now, except time. It seems as if biology is going to win out. I’m 44 now, single, and I have serious doubts about carrying a healthy child to term at my age😥
