have children

I go through phases where I love children and think they’re the best gift anyone could be given .. to thinking they’re the most obnoxious rotten things and can’t figure out why anyone would want to put up with them. But I think I’ve officially swung to the pro-children side of the fence and will stay they’re permanently now. I don’t know if it’s because everyone around me is either pregnant or just recently had a child or if it’s because I’ve reached that point in my life where I’m ready to seriously consider starting a family .. not right now .. but in the near future when I’m more financially stable. I know two of my major reasons are because I want my children to know my parents .. my dad’s father died a month after I was born and I would’ve really enjoyed the opportunity to have known him .. and I want my parents to be able to still be young enough to really enjoy the grandchildren I give them. This is something that would’ve really scared me to think about even a year ago .. but it puts a smile on my face now knowing that in the future I’ll be able to have the joy of a baby in my life
