my husband and i don't want children, so what's the coolest part of having kids?Well if you are like me and do not believe in a afterlife, it's nice to know that when you die a part of you will live on forever through your kids and generations to come. For me it is a good feeling knowing that I will not just cease to exist the day I die
For me there is no greater feeling than seeing my child smile and watch their eyes light up when I teach them something new. It is all the small things for me that make it all worth being a DAD. Like how excited my kids get when I read them a book before bed or when I pick them up from school how they are aways excited to see me.
There is also the memories of the first time you held your child. Most Moms would probably get choked up just telling you about their experiences those first few days. Though everyone is different, Im one of those guys that when my wife and I see a new Mom with a newborn at the mall I look at my wife and say, "Remember when ours were that little."
I have 5 kids and I had my first kid at the end of my sophomore year in high school. I was forced to drop out of school, get married, work as a laborer in a rock quarry. At the time I played varsity sports, was class president, I had a couple dozen girls wrapped around my fingers.... I was a player. At first I regretted that I never got to go to college, hangout at parties, go clubbing, and my friends all thought I was lame and no fun anymore. The list goes on and on but it was all worth it and I would never regret it.
Maybe I gave you too much info about me as a person and a Dad
I'm just open that way. But if you want to ask me anything I am pretty open about my life
