However, kids can be a mixed bag.

Some kids, like my daughter, can be an absolute joy and are the greatest thing in your life.

Some kids can be the ultimate headache that fills the remainder of your life with pain and regret.

But a lot of that has to do with proper parenting. But sometimes a person/kid is just a bad person/kid regardless of how much love and time you put into it.

I was lucky. My daughter has been as perfect of a kid as I could have ever imagined or hoped for. Thank Christ she wasn't like me.

Incorrect. Being with your family in your last moments is irreplaceable.

All this. Between Mrs. Fishingrod and myself we have 5 and two grandkids. I used to work with a guy that never had any. He and his wife took trips to places like Fiji every year. I wouldn’t trade places but, he did not seem to be suffering. Oh by the way I’m 50 my youngest is 19. My parents were 39 when they had me and my mom’s parents were old when they had her. My grandpa was born in 1884 wrap your mind around that.

Wow. I'm two years older than you and my oldest grandparent was born thirty years later than your grandpa.

Yeah It was a little different. My grandfather on Mom’s side was born before Cars and airplanes and lived long enough to see man land on the Moon. He was too old to get drafted for WWI. I could easily have been 20-40 years older. My Dads side wasn’t that much younger. Gives a person a little different perspective listening to stories about your Dads Grandpa having his horse stolen by Jessie James. No idea if it was true but was cool to listen too as a kid.

Cool! I'm not the only one. 😄
I'm 45 now, my dad was 46 when I was born. And his dad was 36 when he was born.
My Grandpa was born in 1887

Oh, and I'm a Grandpa already. My oldest had a son at a young age
