If you have kids do you tend to view things in life as right/wrong, good/evil, etc,etc compared to when you were childless and viewed everything in life as a shade of grey....there is nothing absolute......no black/white. The reason is that Einstein had a theory about this but unfortunately died before he got to test out his hypothesis. Please me your experiences?

impossible to generalize - life has even more shades of grey (especially on your head) once you've had kids lol. its only once they've grown up and had kids of their own, that you get your revenge - then life is a blissful shade of white on top ;-))

I don't think I view things any differently than before I had children. Life is not just black and white, but it's not just "all shades of gray" either. It really depends on the circumstance. For example, it's NEVER okay to drive intoxicated. That's black and white. Children have not changed the way I look at life.

You defiantly view things differently after having children. It isn't easy to describe because everyone is different. I was 27 so you could imagine the tires screeching when my angel came. When you (if you) have children you won't be worried with questions like that. TRUST! If you love your children, you will do the right things for their well being.

I only have one kid, and she's 6 mo's old.
but i tend to be more cautious with my own life now. i think that is the only real change in me.
I was a really reckless teenager got into alot of trouble, but got married when i was 18 and had my baby at 23. between 18 and 23 i was still reckless, just didn't go "over the line" as much, and when i turned 23 and had my baby, i because alot more careful, because my baby needs me. i don't want someone else raising my kid.
i donno if that helps, i think i still "see" things the same way, just react to them differently

As a parent of grown children, I'd have to say that before I had children, life was all about me, me, me! I lived it with what my parents had taught me.
When I became a parent, the line became apparent. :-)
If I wanted to raise decent, upstanding, productive humans, then I had to focus in on right and wrong and pass that along.
So yeah, there's a difference. But it's all good in the long run.

not me, i guess because the way i was raised. everything was right/wrong good/evil. i think now that i am older and maybe somewhat with me having a kid i see less black/white.

Answering your own question,isn't polite...giving advice,without having any children,is worse, Your so called theory- right/wrong,good/evil,black/white, is all part of being human. This is what we do,in our everyday life's. Therefore Life,love,hate,anger,good or bad,is found everyday in our hearts,mind,body,soul,and if you don't understand this,you've proved your own theory.....

I have never generalized not when I was single, married without children, married with child or single again. I don't generalize.
