>>17589594>Is having kids a cope mechanismI didn't think me and my wife were going to have a daughter, as I was always scared of the responsibility it entails.
God damn, having a child changes your life in so many ways, and mainly for the better.
It broadened my capacity to love, care, and understand.
It's hard to explain how I could love this girl so much even though she robbed me and my wife of sleep for months, and costs so much money to take care of. But just seeing her smile brightens my day.
