From the second that screaming little thing comes into the world and you realize you would die for them and kill for them, your perspective on everything will change forever, and will continue to do so as they grow.
This is a good thing. Don’t let anyone tell you how to feel, myself included.
5 years ago, my wife and I were at a bar discussing whether or not to have a kid, and we overheard two dads having a drink together and discussing their kids. We asked them what they thought was the most important thing we could take care of before having a kid.
They didn’t say money. They both agreed - “have a strong relationship.” I still agree, and you seem like you have a strong relationship, and are in general a strong woman, physically and mentally. I genuinely hope you have a child, because we could use more people like you raising children. Best of luck!
P.s. I hope I didn’t come across as combative. Not everyone will experience what I did, but I had a point 2 years ago after my 2nd child was born (where shit gets REALLY expensive), after the oldest was hospitalized and I switched jobs for more money but still had a couple week pay gap in the transition, and I had to open up my toddlers piggy bank, where I told him I was putting HIS money that I couldn’t touch, for change to get milk. I still feel guilty about that. Anyway, it’s just my experience, but that’s why I may have been a little blunt.
I didn’t realise that ketchup on eggs being considered weird was a thing. I don’t really do ketchup myself but in this part of the world if one is having a fried breakfast it’s going to have either ketchup or brown sauce on it.
And if your fried breakfast doesn’t have at least one fried egg on it, you’ve got to seriously reconsider your life choices.
