Hi - Not as simple an answer as you may want.
There really is no way of describing to true feelings that a being a parent is all about. It's a mixed bag with all sorts up highs, lows, angels, devils and all the in betweens.
But at the end of the day when you tuck them in at night and you look in their innocent and trusting eyes full of love that you forget all the highs and lows and just love.
Being a parent is really hard work but at the end of the day it is the most rewarding experience ever.

It is all those you mention and much, much more. There are some that haven't been named yet, but I can tell you it is one of the greatest experience of life, being a parent. You have been entrusted with souls that you are suppose to nurture and in the grand scheme of things you will go on and leave that soul here on earth and hopefully because of your nurturing this person will have common sense and life skills to go on even after they have left the nest and that the skills that they have received they will pass on to the souls to which they are entrusted. So the question "Devils or Angels?", depends on how the child has been raised. I love children, and haven't met one that I could come to some degree of understanding with, I am a grown up and I will be respected (simple). It is an experience that should not be entered into lightly. Again, it is an experience like none other in life.

Being a parent is like nothing else it is unbelievable and is the BEST love in the world! The times you are mad dissapear when, because of children you are happy or they put a smile on your face! It takes a lot of patience. I was 16 when i had my son and while i was pregnant i always thought of having a baby and not too long down the road he was walking and tearing things up, I thought what did I get myself into?;o) Kids also will keep you young at heart! I love my children, wouldnt trade them for anything in the world, but sometimes I feel like I could just give up, i would never do that, but anyhow i hope i was useful

I tried for over 2 years before I had my son (he's 3 now) and is the best thing in my life. However, having a child is a lot harder then I ever could imagine. You are constantly worrying about he/she getting hurt, their health, are they learning fast enough.
You spend a lot of sleepless nights, not just when they are born but even now with my son. But all the worrying, anxiety, sleeplessness etc. does not compare to the joy you feel when you see that little life for the first time, or when he says MA MA for the first time. In order to experience the good you must take the
bad (or what you consider the bad part of it). I would do anything for my son, and I would not change a thing about my life when it comes to him.

Should a child make you angry then a "devil" and should a child make you happy then a "angel". Anyway ! children are always the angels of their parents, very true. In order to be a complete family, you need to have at least one child and can feel the warmest of the family, no joke !

I am going to focus on your one question (Devils or Angels?)
Children are a little bit of both. Imagine all children as Gemini's, one minute or day, they are sweet as pie and rotten the next.

both, in all reality children are very influenced by parent action so if your child is mean at school, do things hes/she not supposed to then its the parent fault, a regular child is both they explore the limits of there parent yet know that when they need something there mom and dad are there for them they make me laugh cry and sometimes a little frustrated, unless the child has add adhd or any other mental problem your child should me a mixture of both,

My kids are normal kids. They have their bad moments and their good moments. I love them dearly and it's up to me to shape them into good, helpful responsible adults by showing them how to react to certain situations. Sometimes I've said do as I say not as I do, I admit that but usually I think I do a good job. Two good parents, a father and a mother, is the way to develop a child into a sound productive adult using love and a firm hand. And be consistent with your beliefs. If you say no to something then let it always be no, like not letting my 8 year old round up the cows on our farm and move them to another pasture by himself. His father doesn't do that alone.

It's a bit of everything. The greatest pleasure, the greatest trial.
The best bit for me was coming home from a terrible day at work, walking through the door, and having this little body throw itself at you with a hug and a big kiss.
