Congrats. Do what it takes to give them your time.

Congrats Pete.

Just a tip - if you think there is any chance that your kid will go to college, start saving NOW. Holy shit, that stuff is expensive! If they don't end up going, you can buy them a house or something (or yourself a Corvette).

Just found out the Wife is 4 weeks pregnant. I'm excited but scared as hell (in a good way) all the same.

Please DON'T teach the kid how to start threads !

Congrats.

Wish I had kids.

You realize how much fun your life was and how you could leave the house when you wanted to, instead of being a prisoner in your own home.

But..but..she told me she couldn't get pregnant! :D

(Grats)

Congrats and best wishes!

Just scary; the last 5 years have been awful overall. Laid off; lost a house; multiple moves (4); laid off again etc.
I’m super paranoid now about another catastrophic deal coming down the pipe. I can’t imagine going through what we went through with a kid. The last 4-5 years damn near killed me from stress.
I would be paralyzed with fear if we had a kid; I would be paranoid beyond belief that the other shoe is about to drop etc.
Plus, I don’t think I’d want to be in my mid-40s when the kid is still in elementary school etc.

Tough call for sure. I can definitely see myself as a dad.

My wife and I just had our first in August after months of debate. I always said that I wanted to wait til we were "financially secure." My mother gave me the most eye-opening advice. She said "if you wait til you're financially secure you'll never have kids." She was right. I'm now 29 with a 7 month old and have enjoyed every minute of it. I know what you mean about the added stress, as well; I left AD military when he was 4 months, moved half way across the country and decided to make a complete career change. We've got a tiny 1 bedroom apt and I've never been happier. It sounds corny but my son doesn't give a shit about our finances and his smile and laugh make me forget about any shitty day I have. Best decision of my life.
