Kids

[manlymatt83]

I used to really want kids. It used to be my dream to get married and have a family. But recently, I've learned that there are so many things I want to do in this world (run my own business, continue to work out at the gym, etc.) that I question whether I would ever have the time or energy to have children. Has anyone hear ever not wanted kids but then started wanting them? Or has anyone hear ever been in my situation where they wanted kids, but as they got older and saw the potential for what life could give them, they felt they no longer wanted them?

I'm 25 years old now.

the things you want are not mutually exclusive.

I never wanted kids and didn't really relish the idea of being a parent when my son was born when I was 34 years old.

By the time he was six months old, I understood and loved being a Dad. I've been very excited about being a Dad and have never cared so much about anyone my entire life for the last 11 years.

Yeah, I was going to say... never heard of a "family business"?
