This is obviously a polarizing topic
.
If this thread was about the benefits of having children, being a parent, I am sure we would have equally differing opinions. I am a father of three boys, and some days don't know if I am coming or going
, but to be honest would not have it any other way. But that is my choice, others can follow their own dreams-choices.
I always wanted to be a Dad-Father, just needed to find someone to help me out in that department
, and I did, we have been together for close to 20 years now
.
As far as bad parenting, etc, there are many factors in the life and raising of a child. It truly does take a village-community to raise one. So, even those
without children can have a huge impact on a child's life. Many teachers, coaches and community leaders have influenced me along the way, and for the most part in a positive way. And those who have not I have learned from as well.
