I like that when work dries up (real estate is often feast or famine) that i dont have to freak out and panic about where the next paycheck might come from. I dont think i could handle that if i had kids.
Good on you moms and dads for figuring it out.
Phew!

everyone thinks they're too selfish to have kids. that's where a lot of anxiety comes from leading up to actually having the kid. but once the kid comes, that's all suspended. you innately go about parenting without letting that selfishness interfere. to be sure, there are those that can't seem to get their shit together. but for the most part, everyone figures it out. you just find new things to be selfish about. you would make a great dad.

Good times trying to get yourself and your kid dried and changed afterwards, before going out into the snow.

We've been doing this for about a year now. The part between getting her out of the pool and into her dry clothes is never not a disaster.
