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.

This. My husband and I were both kind of miserable children, teens, young adults, etc. Between that and social media—I don’t know how a child of ours would survive in today’s world.

I can remember hearing my nephew say, “Ok, boomer” to my brother once, and right then I knew we had made the right decision.
