I think most people have children because they've had unprotected sex. :wink: Most people don't go into parenting with a game plan or a mission statement, they have children because it was in the cards they were dealt. The majority of new parents realize from the first moment they hold that defenseless, oddly alien looking newborn in their arms that nothing else matters. The world may be in the shit-can but being a parent gives you a vision for the future. No parent wants their child to grow up in a world that's in shambles but you firmly believe that if you instill good morals and ethics in your children, they will have the know-how and ability to create and inhabit a better world then the one they inherited from you. The goals I've set for my children are simple... live long, healthy and happy lives because in the long run it's all that counts!
