My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

Not wanting to be a smug parentBut seriously, it's worth it. It's always possible to tot up the reasons not to have children - you'll always be financially better off without them, not to mention time, emotional baggage, exhaustion etc. But it's impossible to factor into the equation the fact that you love them. You can't calculate that as a value.
The nearest equivalent I can think of that you might be able to relate it to is having a pet. They cost you money, leave mess in the house and generally make your life more complicated, and all they give you back is a fucking *purr*. But goddamn it if that purr doesn't make it worth having them. Multiply that up a few hundred times and that's parenthood.
