Yeah having children was worse mistake I ever made. I mean yeah I love my kids don't get me wrong. But I am praying for them to go to school as soon as possible. I use to always enjoy going to ballgames, hockey games, and you know enjoying my free time.
I don't have that anymore. I am seriously considering leaving my wife and the 5 kids cause I can't take it anymore. I use to be happy now im not.
If anything yes, its made me sad, bitter, depressed, and hopeless.

Having my kids made me a better person...better than I honestly though I could ever be. I am now more patient, more responsible, tougher on myself to be a better person, definitely a cleaner person. I'm proud to walk down the street with my twins and alwyas find myself smiling at people, especially those with kids! I find that I put more time into others and absolutely 1000% of my whole being into raising my kids to be wonderful people. All in all, I never expected or planned on being a Mom, but I LOVE IT! It amazes some of my friends who did not think that I would be a Mom, not that I didn't love kids but I had always said I didn't want to be one. They are truly shocked at how much I have changed. I am still fun-loving and the same person as I was before, now just that much better and I have my two precious babies to thank for it!!

Speaking as an observer who has seen most of my friends have children, I must say yes, it changes people.
Instead of politics, fine art, world history or genetics, my friends with children now only want to discuss Poopsie's loose tooth, Poopsie's bowel movements, or something adorable that Poopsie said yesterday. This gets old fast.
Friends with older children now only wish to discuss what to do about Bobo's onerous homework load, or Bebe's use of makeup.
Their worlds now revolve around their offspring, which is natural, I suppose, but the punchline is that they sometimes indicate that I am selfish for not having kids (!). Quite a joke, since I am the only one in the room *not* making constant reference to my own progeny.

This is a wonderful question, i have ever answered . No body can really understand the meaning of Wordsworth's expression "child is the father of man", unless after having begotten children. As they are born, then tenderness brings out the child in you. You heart tends to become equally smooth and tender. As they grow up, you enjoy their growing. The sudden unprovoked smile, even while remaing closed their eyes. As they start recognizing you, they also love your company. The smile and expression of happiness at the sight of you, makes the even the hardest of the evils in your personality melt away.
In my view, with my experience as a father of two children, i can say with some authority that i owe it to my children, my sense of responsibility and discipline in life. I have been ashamed wrong doing for fear of going down in the esteem of my children. Even for a better understanding and love between me and my spouse, I think, the children have played a major role.

It didn't change my personality. What it does was best described by Meryl Streep in the movie, "Heartburn" when she said how having a baby makes this whole other person you didn't know you were come out".
You start out with "plain old you", but once you have a child you start to also see "incredibly unselfish you", "incredibly strong you", "little-girl-that-you-thought-had-grown-up you", "fair you", "wise you", "incredibly appreciative you" and "worried you".
In other words, it didn't change my personality. It showed me my character and strength.

I dont be attentive to.... regrettably, i think of i'm extra irratable now. With human beings frequently. you be attentive to, the fool interior the line you cuts you off, or is tail gating. I actually have a toddler on board sign for a reason. final night some little ones threw a cup interior the action picture teach and intensely just about hit me and my toddler...oh pal did I come unglued or what. They ran and hid in yet another theater. fortunate I didnt see what they have been wearing. and that i'm so mad at people who carry my toddler and... a million. dont provide him interest. like talk to him and stuff whilst he's alert. he loves human beings to communicate to him. he tries to communicate back. hes purely like his momma. 2. carry him so his chin is notably lots on his chest. i can not breath sturdy like that so I dont blame him for procuring fussy. yet thank goodness alongside with the irratability got here an unwavering volume of staying power. it extremely is the reason I havent killed all people. lol. He doesnt sleep ok yet. (of course) And so, I do notably sturdy with staying up from 5am-8am whilst he desires to play. He is going to sleep approximately 830until 11 or so. His smiles make all of it well worth it.

Definitely! I am alot more mature than I when I didn't have children. My world now revolves around my children, instead of non-essential things in my life. My whole outlook on life is different.

Having had a rough childhood I wanted my kids to have different. They showed me how to have patience, how to love them and show it, and to be there when needed. The rewards have been great!!! Wouldn't do anything different...even though they were a year apart and things were rough then (they are now 29 and 30). Glad to have them around and hope that they will pass this on to their kids.

Yes and no. I am definetly more careful now, quiet, and a little bit more reserved. I still like to have fun, I just don't be crazy, I have a little one who depends on me now. It really makes you grow up and be less selfish also. Like now when I go shopping, I would rather buy my daughter things than myself! Its all good and fun though, Wouldn't have it any other way.
