It's not about what you do that makes the difference. It's just having your kin changes the dynamics.

With my son, I'm imprinting him with everything and teaching him how I want to. The random tasks(like diapers, feeding, etc) that needs to be done is just a requirement for this imprinting.

My entire life's from how I was raised when I was a kid to adulthood is solely on my shoulders. Every decision is no longer about me. It's for them. My entire life's purpose is to have my kids grow up how I want them to grow up.

With babysitting someone else's kid, it's just a task. A snippet, a small part of the entire process.

At 47 and my wife recently birthing our 2nd child, my only regret is not having kids sooner.
