Bit specific but it's the one piece of advice I'd have given myself. Don't have kids before you're ready, no matter who or what is pushing you to do so. BUT do try and get yourself ready as early as possible. There's loads that you can't prepare for and it'll hit you like a train. But there's also a lot you really can think about ahead of time. You don't want to be worrying about money and you don't want to be an old, knackered dad. But it's also too much fun to not do, if you can.
