Michielen: Children, burden or joy?"},"content":{"rendered":"

To make it clear, I love children. Babies, toddlers, teenagers, you name it and I will love and take care of them. <\/strong><\/h2>

I also\ntotally understand parents who are surrounded by diapers, toys and a conversation\nthat stops at a child\u2019s level. Despite the hormones that make you blinded by\nlove and your judgement a little bit coloured (to say the least), it seems\nnormal that you want to be your old charming self again and dress up and go out\nfor a nice lunch or dinner. Bringing your little ones, trusting they will enjoy\nyour choice as much as you do. They don\u2019t. I know, because I am the one at the\nother table, with my partner, friend or client.<\/p>
