Keep it real with me for a minute.
You know how you often hear "the best thing I ever done was have a kid" or "I wouldn't change it for the world". I always find myself wondering "... Really?"
Call me cynical, but I just find it hard to believe that a kid is always the best gift people make it out to be. This isn't necessarily geared to people that have kids they planned for, but moreso those that found themselves on the opposite end of a text message that reads "I'm pregnant."
I can think of several scenarios where having a baby would essentially create major (unfavorable) changes for a person.
Essentially what I'm asking (because I know that was a lot of banter to read through, but I'm on my lunch break and not in the mood to be overly cohesive), is this:
If you could rewrite history, would you have had your kid when you did? At all? A little later on down the road?
