Suddenly I knew we were out of milk and it was up to me to make a run to the convenience store
19 , now I have three at 32. Do not have kids unless you r financially ready. It’s not fair to you or your kids to live the broke life. My life now is being with my kids and growing together. They r absolutely my best friends by a mile.
I was 27. For context, when I was in my early 20’s, I knew I wanted to be a father. After stopping the birthday control, we tried for 3 years. My wife at the time told me on my birthday. See my daughter and seeing who a woman can deliver live into this world.
It hit me that the world was WAY BIGGER than myself. I had this baby counting on me. She gave me motivation to be a better person and work harder than ever before. Watching her grow up, you consider things so simple in life that you often take for granted like looking up at the sky or playing in water.
Unfortunately, her mother and I are no longer together. But if there was anything I knew I did was right in my life. It was my children. (If you’re curious, my daughter and I still have a fantastic relationship)
I was 41, and honestly never cared for a child one way or the other.
Someone told me not to worry if l didn’t bond with the baby straight away, which l thought was an odd thing to say.
Turns out they were right. For the first year or so l felt nothing, like we were babysitting someone else’s child.
Then he started to walk, and become ‘interesting’ and things gradually changed.
Unfortunately his mum left me for my best friend a couple of months later and turned my world upside down.
I had him every weekend and a day during the week.
10 years later l have the same visiting arrangement and we have the absolute best relationship ever.
What l thought l didn’t want turned out to be the best thing l ever did and was the making of me.

I was 30. Excited, stressed, scared. It definitely changes your life. If the single life is something that you cling to, it may be a rough transition. I don’t view myself as a mere physical provider for my son, I also believe it’s my job to raise him correctly and give him a chance to become a contributor to society.
