Most adults are emotional children to one extent or another; this is the source of many of the complaints about society in this very forum.
All new parents are lacking in parenting skills.
Children are often the catalyst which changes the emotional maturity of an adult.

Children are always a blessing to those who raise them because they change the caretaker.
Whether a new parent or potential parent chooses to receive this blessing is another matter.
