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?

I have to agree with BGB tooI'm 34 and in the somewhat idealistic position of having no kids of my own. I do have the occasional use of a couple on lease lend, but that in no way makes me an expert in parenting.
All I can say is that at 22 you have pretty much your whole life in front of you, with decisions, choices and opportunities that I envy you for. Your yearning to be a dad may well be laudable, but assuming you become a dad at 25, what next? Kids don't stay kids forever. You'd be in your mid forties with an empty home and with the new found peace and quiet you could end up using your time to regret an awful lot of decisions.
I would strongly urge you to read some of Che Grimsdale's posts on the subject. He's spoke with refreshing honesty and level headedness about his own daughter who he loves dearly, but about the sacrifices he and his partner had to make. It's both heart warming and somewhat harrowing.
