I'm not trying to convince you
taht not having a kid is something you should regret. But.
I had a fulfilling life before we had a kid. Now my son is the most amazing, interesting, puzzling, weird, cute little human and keeps me busy, entertained, wondering, happy and sometimes exasperated and sleepless.
Having a kid has meant all other things in life went on the back-burner: reading, skating, meeting friends, watching fantastic fiction. Because the responsibility to take care of my son takes precedence over and leaves little time for all the other things. But hey: its also a lot more interesting and rewarding then the other things.
Just saying. Someone should cheer for team parent in this thread.
I wish i had known it was this much fun 10 years ago, we might have had time to try for another one.

This explains why my heart sinks when good friends announce they are having a kid.
They don't always go from interesting friend to dull acquaintance...
