As a new Dad, having a baby daughter has been amazing. Waiting until my 30s made the financial burden of a child much less of an issue. Do I struggle a bit with the “old” non child life? I guess. I can still travel, and things I want, I can still have. Do I care when one of my single friends goes on a 3 week bender to Asia...meh not really.
The joy I get to raise a little girl, far outweighs personal sacrifice to me. Family is everything in this world. Jobs, financial situation, friends..that changes over the years, but family is everything. I love watching my daughter look at the world with an infants eyes. Everything is magical and awesome again.
As I age and my hair line starts moving further back, and hanging out in hostels is less appealing, I look forward to raising a human to be a good person...the world needs more of those
