That first child, but Moloch demands satisfaction.

So let me get this straight - this is a thread complaining about losing the things you used to do because of children? Really?

Kids are the greatest gift one could have. It takes a short-sighted, narrow mind to complain that one's golf time is not as much as before because you have to take care of the kids. Good grief.

I'm a single Dad with no time to do the things and that doesn't bother me one bit. I prefer it this way. Some people.

Time for your own stuff. I used to camp and do a lot out of recreational sports (softball, basketball, kayaking). It'll get better once they get older and I can introduce them to that stuff

$14k a year to send two to private schools hurts my wallet

I'd imagine the biggest is that your life would now come second to your child's. Hence why I don't have one yet - I'm too damned selfish

I believe children are the future.

What a dumb belief. Next your going to be telling me that people have kids because they love children and not because they need labor in the fields.

That's unfortunate. After reading your posts on the Vietnam War, it's obvious your kids don't stand a chance.

Meh. I like where I live
