Having Kids is for people with Unsatisfying Careers? - Bilge

I have my various interests that I'm fortunate enough to make money from, but being DAD is my job. No Grandparents, no Aunts or Uncles to help, just my wife and myself. It's without a doubt the hardest job I've ever had(and I've had lots of jobs), and quite often there are no thanks. It's very, very hard, but there are those moments that do make it worth every minute of the screaming, and the tantrums, and the non-stop questioning, and the poop. I will say, though, that I'm definately not a career-oriented(yuck!!) person, and I wouldn't give this up for the world. It's the perfect level of chaos for me. Plus, being adopted, these boys are the only blood I have in my life, and I will do anything to ensure their safety, and do my best to raise them into strong, compassionate men. That's paramount.
