whooohooo... is this your first child?
this amazing thing called 'spare time' quickly evaporates with the emergence of a child.
my wife and i have 2 kids (our girl is 4 in a couple weeks and our boy is 1yr/7months). we often joke about all these people that told us before we had kids, 'oh... you won't even remember what life was like before kids!'
i call b.s. on that - it's a lie... total lie. we very much DO remember what life was like before kids... we had tons of spare time to go and do stuff... like dates, road trips, work around the house, yard work, play on sports teams as a couple, etc.
don't get me wrong, i love my kids and wouldn't trade them for anything, but they eat up every last bit of time you have!
buying an older house that requires renos and then lots of yard work is a big time commitment and your life is about to take a drastic change of direction (for the good... but no spare time!)
