Thanks for putting that into words. I kept trying to start a post where I've never really felt "100% worth it!" or "love him/her more than anything in the world" and kept getting lost after that. I love my son, but the pragmatic part of me just refuses to associate such a phrase with the whole process.
The end isn't until 18+ looking at them in their first career and trying to find someone to marry. Up until that point there are a lot of fun times and good memories but you probably won't feel that it's "worth it" until that point.
a_skeleton_03 come on, we play Multiplayer games over the internet here, I've been told much worse.
LOL yeah by people who don't matter. Not by someone you have protected, finances, and loved for the past 13 years (I have 13 yo twins). You act like it doesn't hurt and tell them it's not appropriate behavior or the right thing to say and act like it doesn't hurt but it does and makes you wonder why you had kids. I don't think I am in the minority either.
Are you trying to put a dollar value on family? I mean like, do you want to put a pad of paper and objectively look at the cost analysis of happiness? Like each hug your little girl gives you is worth 5$. So if I spend 100k on them in 10 years, did I get 100k worth of hugs?
Just messing with you man, I'm not starting an argument. My first statement was prefaced with "I don't know shit."

Well said.
I agree with this. The 'worth it' part is (hopefully) seeing this once little baby as a full grown adult who you've passed down your own wisdom/knowledge/morals/etc. and becoming something you can be very proud of.
