Are children worth having?

Oh god. Such a tough question. The answer is .... it depends. First and foremost, it depends on whether someone wants kids in the first place. If they definity want kids, they are so worth it. If someone doesn't want kids... well, I doubt they'd find it worth it. This is obvious I suppose. The tough part is when someone is on the fence about kids. As a dad, I can tell you that there is no substitute for having kids. You just have to experience it to know what it's about. Unfortunately though, you can't just try parenthood on for size. Plus, once you have a kid, you're committed. ...and babysitting isn't quite the same. Soooo... for those that are on the fence, it's a tricky question indeed. So tricky. I was on the fence and I took the plunge. I'm glad I did. It was worth it... for me. Everyone's story is different though. So ...like I said... it depends.
