Always. But I left it too late, so now I’ve adopted.
Well, I would say that was the minute I first held my oldest son, I never thought about “wanting” children as much as it was “something we did”, I know my wife did and, well, it was time, we weren’t in a great place financially, but we managed, and when the next was born, we kinda knew how to survive on one salary…by the time my third was born, I really looked forward to being a father again as I was (and now) completely and utterly in love with my children…my oldest will be 29 next year and that never changes…
Bottom line, I never felt the ‘want’ to have children, but I’ve never regretted it, ever, they changed my life for the good and they are a blessing to us…
LOL, our third was not planned, I put off the doctor’s appointment for a year or so, I came home one day, and the sweet Mrs. BLTC had a pregnancy test in one hand and soon my collar in the other, “YOU ARE GETTING A VASECTOMY!!!” but we are fine, as my Mom said, “To Heir Is Human”, we laugh about it now, we love our kids…
