mate having kids dont mean you loose who you are at all mate ( though some may say i need to grow up a bit) but in all honesty i would say i never wanted kids,, till i never had a choice and then you DO change a bit of who you are,,, you start thinking of how things affect someone else rather than how you are affected

they also aint all little shits at all, my little girl is 6 almost 7. she LOVES cars, comes out with some silly things that make you laugh even when your pissed off and honestly its the only thing in life i manage to do right,,,,, and im not the best person in the world but father hood is a natural thing

i remember being scared to pick up peoples kids,, just felt awkward and not right and thought i was gonna drop it ,,, but my little one i picked when she was first born,,,, most natural thing ive ever done,,,, just felt correct as if she fitted into me if that makes sence

long story short,,,,, go for it mate you will NEVER regret it and they aint as expensive as people make out in reality !!
