What's changed since you had kids?

I mean, besides the obvious.

For me, it's meal times. I used to skip breakfast, have lunch at 2pm and dinner around 7 30-8pm. Now breakfast is at 6-7am lunch at 11 30am and dinner at 4 30pm.

 

I went from from traveling as I please to working full time, paying bills, and taking on responsibilities. I went from having tons of friends to having very few, and I don't even hang out with them very often. I lost all privacy and 99% of my free time, and honestly, I don't want any of it back (well, maybe a tad bit of the privacy). I am extremely happy to be a father, my children are my life and I continue to be prouder and more impressed with them every day.

 

you are such a great dad, hippylandscaper...i can always tell from your posts that you truly love your family...

honestly...pretty much everything has changed in my life since becoming a mom...and just like landscaper said...i don't want any of the old life back...

 

I am a horrible worryer now as a parent but im hoping some of that will dissipate as she gets older. i agree tho, that the rewards are worth all the changes and im happier as a person now than i ever have been!
