Yep, you are 100% correct...well....maybe 95% correct. They don't use up all the money . But yeah, you do give up your old life. But the new life you start, that of a parent, is infinitely more rewarding. Which brings me to my next point:

Yes it does, you don't know shit about it. Neither did I before I became a parent, neither did slipknot, neither did xxxhazexxx, neither did..... You may have seen what other parents do, you may have seen or played with, or suffered because of, other people's kids. But, you do not know what it means to be a parent until you've actually become one.

The relationship between a parent and a child, the bond between you, the feelings you have for a child, are so different from anything else you could ever experience that you really can't know until you've had a child of your own. It really hit me a year or so ago when my daugher had the stomach flu. I'm holding her in my arms as she's crying and throwing up all over me. The thing was, I didn't even think about the fact that I was getting covered in her vomit. The only thing that mattered was that my little girl didn't feel good. It's things like that that you just can't truly know about until it's your own child.

I will give you credit where credit is due. You sound like you are smart enough to know you are not ready for a child. That's not a bad thing. Heck, I wasn't ready until I was 33. I've seen too many people who have kids long before they're ready. These are the assholes, you mentioned earlier, that run out on their kids because they can't handle the stress.


As for me, there's about 5hrs and 20 minutes more hours before I get home and see my little girl again. Yes, I'm counting the minutes.................
