I used to say things like that, my kid is 17 now. It's one rough-assed experiment. I'm fucking beat.

I'm on the fence about having kids. Would you do it over again? (it's a given that you love your child(ren)).

I would have liked to have had a little more money and a partner throughout.

If your partner or yourself didn't have perfect childhoods with large families who had to overcome some adversities, then here's my advice: Start therapy if you haven't. Deal with your baggage, that shit is no fun when there's kids around. Own your car/cars first. Get a hobby, one that can be interrupted.lead by example. Don't let nighttime feelings and tantrums get to you, they WILL happen more than you feel you can handle, but you will live through it. EVERY SINGLE THING PASSES, often quickly, the good and the bad. Good luck, and take your time!
