are ace, never thought I'd say it a few years ago but my 4 year old is the sweetest thing around. She's so cute, really polite and funny.

Nothing better than being a dad, although volunteer youth soccer (football) coach *can be pretty rewarding as well.

Nah it's just not for me mate.

Luckily she agrees too.

Some people think it makes us selfish, but would it not be more selfish to have kids when we don't really want them?

Horses for courses, some people do, some people don't. Doesn't make you selfish mate, just like you say more responsible. Too many kids being bought up by parents who don't want to interact with them and are happy to stick them in front of a games console or TV.

I've got two girls who are everything to me and couldn't imagine my life without them. My mate on the other hand has no interest whatsoever and neither has his missus. The amount of grief he gets from his family etc about kids is mental though. They don't want them so people should leave them be.

Contrary to what some people put on facebook, Kids are not everything to everyone though and they do not need to know about every new tooth, or landmark they have achieved in their little lifetime. Yes Parents and family members should be excited and proud but they do not need to bore the tits of everyone else Sorry slightly off topic....

Imagine having the worst day ever at work, in life, whatever.
Then you get home and this tiny little face turns to you, smiles the biggest smile and tells you it loves you. And it means it. Unconditional, no messing, just pure real love. There ain't no better feeling. There ain't no bigger reward.

And you being a massive big kid yourself, you have so much to give. Just my opinion like, formed on what I've learned of you from this place.

See to me, after a crap day, coming home and looking after a smaller, whinier version of me sounds like a bloody nightmare mate!

Nah I know what you mean. We might change our mind but like when I look after my nieces I'm effing knackered after an hour and want to give them back!

Don't get me wrong, they can be right royal pains in the arse, on an industrial scale sometimes, but generally the little monsters are amazing little people who fill your life with joy.

and you do look for the uncle IjJyS to dump them on for an hour or three.
