Things I likely never would have experienced without kids:
-the pediatric hospital emergency room in Koln
-a kid puking up cheese fondue all over the inside of a Mercedes cab...also Koln
-having the most understanding cab driver I've ever met who wouldn't even take the very substantial tip i was trying to give him to get his car cleaned
-various other trips to the doctor and of course
-crap everywhere.
On the other hand I also wouldn't experience so many other wonderful things. Even the simple joy of reading a bedtime story every night. Everyones choice of course to do what they like but knowing what I know now I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything.
