I think generally women are more likely to remember the "realities" of children/parenthood whereas most men (who generally had little to do with the daily rearing of them) would find them and parenthood in general "precious". This is a generalized statement, not referring to individual exceptions that I am sure exist in both directions. Children, just like spouses/weddings/marriages, are double edged swords. I think it is the better parent that recognizes that, rather than hanging on the the pipedream of "preciousness".
