Yeah, I guess you make a good point about the laughter. But remember this is right in the middle of those years where we were constantly stressed out from the crap they pulled.
It's all subjective you know.
Sorry, didn't mean to make you feel worse about having kids. My co-worker is dealing with a 16 year-old daughter that's putting him through the same crap that our boys did us. I tell him that someday she'll grow up and apologize for all of it, but of course that doesn't make him feel any better today.
It all depends on how you raise your kids, too. Maybe we screwed up along the way, since we were both just kids when we had kids. That's why I wish we would have waited. Oh well.
Main thing to remember about having kids is to make sure you yourself are grounded in this life, that is, financially, emotionally and spiritually. That would make the experience more rewarding I'm sure.
