Well, motherhood doesn't go on for ever; but the reality is that anyone taking care of one/more very young children inhabits a very odd space for a while: no sleep, no clean clothes, no sense of time...beyond the next forty minutes or so.
As for "sacrificing" -- I think it's hard for men to understand that one's boundaries don't end with one's epidermis. In raising my children, I have not conceived of them as "separate" beings for whom I have "sacrificed." Those categories simply don't apply to a situation in which "separateness" isn't even conceivable for a good dozen years.

That's for sure.
