    Thank God it's a boy. Can't imagine Gaines in female form.

    I'll speak for the oppressed minority. I absolutely love my kids. Might have another couple more.

    Anytime you have a chance to pass on your toxic masculinity you have to do it.

    in THIS economy??????

    You must be rich.
    Far from it, I'm sure I'm safely in the bottom half of HH incomes. Maybe I'll see things different later on but at this point my kids haven't been particularly expensive.
    You haven't added it up, aren't counting opportunity costs, or they aren't very old. Kids cost you a fortune.

    I agree that having kids is great and it's really the only thing of significance I've ever done in my life. It's also the most basic human task. Reproduce - or some retarded fucker will and the gene pool will get shallower. We don't have a shortage of people but we do have a shortage of good people.

    I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. One kid is out the door already and the other isn't far behind. Then I'm going to come over to their place and eat all their fucking food and drink their liquor.


    Definite plenty of opportunity costs but those are very worthwhile to me.

    Like I said, they're young, I'm sure it will get more expensive as they grow up. But also, we plan on not spoiling the hell out of them. Thankfully I have a wife whose a bit of a minimalist so she's on bored with not giving them everything they want.

    I think a big part of the "kids are so expensive" thing is plenty of moms like to spend a shitload of money on them. Well that and child support is a bitch. Thankfully I am in neither of those situations.
    True.

    It sounds like your kids have good dads and will be the kind of people the world can use more of.
    I hope so man. Raising these mini people is a huge responsibility, no question about that. We try not to take it lightly.
    This has turned into the most touching thread I’ve ever seen on HH.

    Time for someone to come and blow this up with inappropriateness.

    Yeah, I'm probably as happy as I've ever been being a dad. It's made considerably easier by having a wife whose career is childcare and isn't the typical first time parent. We go to concerts, camping, vacations, etc. that I see my friends are too afraid to do with their new kids. A strong support network of family living close by doesn't hurt either.

    They still cost a fortune. I can't imagine the extra disposable income I'll have after I no longer have to pay for infant childcare.

    Your wife or husband has to make enough to justify child care costs otherwise one should stay home and raise the little rug rats. Staying home can be a considerable sacrifice in today's world where our value is in our work in a lot of cases

    Like I said mine were pre grown so they were 10 and 12. I was self employed at the time and remained so for the duration. I'd be in the field when they were in school and at the home office when they got home from school. My wife worked



    My wife is thanking allah that our youngest (twins) will be going from 1/2 day pre-k to all day kindergarten next year. After 10 yrs she’s going back to work. She probably won’t make shit but it’s better than zero. She’s stayed home with all 4 and is done, like bullet to the side of the head done. Daycare was never an option because she would never have cleared enough to cover the ridiculous costs. Even the cost of 2 for day care was stupid expensive.

    First world problems indeed.
