Parenthood is not a joke. If it were, then why aren't a lot of parents laughing? It provides for moments of humor and mirth but trust me, most of the time, it's scary and nerve wracking and it's enough to drive you to the edge of insanity.
If you've been thinking about being a parent because you think your genes, mixed with your boyfriend's/girlfriend's would produce majorly good looking kids, I suggest you face a mirror and slap yourself 100 times or until your lip bleeds. Parenthood is not an erotic arts and crafts hobby, doofus! If you wanted to see how your kids would look like, there are software applications for that now! Sheesh!
Interestingly enough, there are a few people out there who do understand the trappings of being a parent. Then, there are a lot of unenlightened ones who still think that bringing home the bacon is enough to be called a parent. Your kids need to know that you are there for them, that you see to their emotional and psychological needs as well. Money can only take you so far. It's important, I know but it isn't everything.
The best part of being a parent is the love and smiles and kisses you get everyday, every moment you're with your children. There is no better word in this world than "Mommy". To my kids, I can do everything and anything - from kissing the ouchies away, to curing sick fishes, to kicking alien/monster/ghost butt. To my kids, I'm the funniest woman in the world. For my kids, I'm the best. Who wouldn't want that?
If you think being a parent is like having a job, sorry to have to tell you this but this is a job wherein you don't get paid and you're constantly on call and you can't quit. Just because your kids are 45 years old doesn't mean you stop being a parent. It's permanent, sweetie.
Now trust me when I tell you that you need that prophylactic. Just put it on...
