There's not a better feeling than having little man scream with joy that I'm finally home after working all day. Runs up and instantly wants me to pick him up. But then he wants down after a few seconds. Lol kids are great if they are your own.

Having children changes you. It changes your perspective, your focus, and humbles you. If you don't have children, you simply cannot quantify what it would mean for you. Do I miss certain "freedoms" I had before kids? Perhaps....But, with 12 and 8 year old daughters in the house, my wife and I decided to have another. A year later we made that decision again.
Having children is THE most rewarding thing that I have ever done. A smile from my son, hearing my youngest daughter say "dada", or having my 14 year old walk up and give me a hug.....I wouldn't trade those moments for any car, any woman, or any amount of money.

I have never wanted kids... Never planned on it. Told my wife if she wanted a guarantee of children, she might as well beat feet and find somebody else to give them to her.
I am now 36yrs old. I have the most amazing woman as my wife. I have the best dog in the world. I have worked and paid for everything I own. I don't have a mansion or a Lambo... I do have a small house and a few decent vehicles. And I don't owe anybody anything other than the county wanting their property taxes every year.
I have money saved that could probably float me for 5+yrs and I'm always hunting more...
I have always thought/planned to have a mansion and a lambo, but just within the past few months of feeling somewhat empty despite thinking I had it all figured out and would live the life of Riley and have been seeing that plan really start to become my reality?
I'll be goddamned if at 36 and focusing my entire life on the earliest and awesomest retirement I could figure out how to create for myself, I didn't up and realize that I don't have a mother fucking thing figured out and that I'm thinking about letting go of my illusion of control of my life having a damn kid.
Who am I and what happened to the "me" I worked so hard to create?

Children are truly an amazing adventure that will require all of your determination, patience, love, and knowledge.
