Default Re: Having kids, pros and cons?

I certainly thought I would want kids some day, but my wife was ready now and I wasn't (I was 31, she was 30). I was kinda in the same situation as you, I was happy where we were at, there were still some things that I wanted to do that people without kids can't, etc. I relented, because I want my wife to be happy, but really wasn't looking forward to it that much.

Having our son is without a doubt the best thing that's ever happened to me. Its really hard to describe to somebody who isn't a parent, but there's basically this immediate realization that your life is no longer the most important thing to you (I probably should have felt this way when I got married, but...whatever.)
