Do you regret having your kids?

No, but I have wanted to be a dad for a long time, since I was a teenager at least - it was more than an assumption of one of life's inevitable behaviors, it was something I really wanted to try to do well.

And now we have two kids, really interesting teens, I enjoy parenting a lot.

But be clear eyed about this. It will change you. Good parenting, I have found, is mostly about what you do, not what you say. Be prepared to be a great role model 24/7. And of course you will fail, because no one is great 24/7. But teaching kids how an adult bounces back from ill temper or other mistake is of course valuable too.

Basically, if you are not prepared to be patient, if you are not smart enough to be versatile in your approach, if you still think you can do everything you can do without kids, don't put yourself and them through this.

I think my parents do I'm 13 and I was an accident, I read so in a letter, and my mum wanted to leave me and force me into boarding school at 4. But if you plan it I know it'll be a really rewarding thing, except for about the first 7 or so years it's probably demonic ;)

Just remember that your life will change forever, there will be no going back.

They will be the number one priority in your life. Their needs will be always always come before yours. Prepare to have no life anymore. The only reason you will now be living, will be to serve and raise your children.

Think of that, let it sink in-its not the literal truth, but you should at least be ready to accept that-if you want to be a good parent that is.

You work for them now.
