Default Re: Do you want to have children?

The wife and I have a 5 month old, we're 29. I never really wanted kids, she wanted them from day 1, I finally came around to the idea and we had one.

I was never a baby person. I was more of a toddler person. Once the kid started walking/talking/playing catch, etc. I thought they were cool.

However, having a baby is the most exciting and stimulating thing ever. They're sponges, and given the right guidance they'll grow up to be exceptional people. Having that responsibility is so scary/rewarding nothing compares.

There's nothing like hearing your child laugh for the first time, and there's nothing worse than going three straight months without more than 3 straight hours of sleep.

Anyway, it's way different when it's your own child. I never thought I'd talk funny to him, or whatever, but when you do and they smile, it's absolutely incredible.
