parenthood

How do you know that you love your children?

When you became a father most things change. The first thing that changes is the (cherished) sense of freedom of going here or there, of deciding by yourself what to do....the being constantly around the newborn. The changes in how you relate to your friends. To live in a different place than the one you want. The impossibility to be quiet, to read. Sometimes they could drive you to your limits. The change in mealtimes, in sleep patterns.....

Trying to answer the question posted above, I think is when their happiness is more important for you than the troubles you are going through.....or to put it in another way, when their happiness is more important to you than your suffering......
