I guess realizing that they really do have their own personalities very early on.
Mostly I can't wait to see how they end up being when they are grown up. Not because I want to get rid of them, but because it will be fascinating to know that I had a hand in helping them get to wherever they end up.

So very true! I was happy that my children were both boys...as I may have written some of the differences off to gender if one had been a girl. Truly...

How different step children are than having your own to raise from a baby. I realized after raising our child that I never really felt like a 'mother' to my stepchildren because they already had a mother in their life. With our child, I can't believe the amount of pure love I have for her and how truly connected we both are. She is everything to me.

I'm not technically a parent but I've dated multiple women with children (Who does that?!) and it astounded me how much different they act/behave around responsible adults versus immature/disrespectful "parents."
I remember one instance when I came home from work and my (non) son asked me how was work. And he was actually curious and wanted to know. Not just being polite. I just stood there going  I had never seen him ask that to anyone else, ever. (He was 3 at the time.)

You've got be trolling/kidding, right? Extra stitches don't do a damn thing.
To answer, what surprised me the most is that you can tell someone something about a thousand times, but when you ask them that same thing just one more time they still stare at you with this completely blank expression on their face as though this was the very first time you ever asked.
Oh, and I found out that I am incredibly stupid and ignorant about a great many things -- well well well! Was I ever surprised to learn that about myself!!
