Having children: Burden or blessing?

[KingJay]

I know I'm not ready to have kids yet so I'm in no rush, but I'm excited for the day I can see my son and daughter living happy lives

It really comes down to what you want.

Spoiler

and to some extend what you can afford

Y'alls responses add to me wishing I had kids.

Don't have any of my own yet but my little niece gets annoying but I wouldn't trade her for anything

both.

This is coming from a pretty established entrepreneur.

It is freaking crazy how much a child cost, especially if you travel a lot. We easily spend an extra 30-40K a year on child care ALONE due to being hardcore travelers. Love my kids to death but it is brutal on these streets

U will not know TRUE LOVE u til u have a child of your own. The way they love u and u love them unconditionally.

Seeing you in someone else. Being able to be their world as they are young. Being responsible for ANOTHER life. It's just something u cant truly understand until u have them. And I know this bc I COULDNT get it either.

What I would say is wait until u can afford to have them if u can. It will make ur life but more importantly THEIR life easier.

Idk I really loved my cat

I'd say burden if you bring children into the world with nothing to offer them. It's even worse when children are brought into the world to be raised in a chaotic situation among two parents.

Burden that slowly turns into a blessing
