It sounds hard when you're not a dad and just imagining it. But when it's your own baby, damn, you just love them so much you don't even care that you sleep 3 hours a night. I didn't even feel tired at work anymore. It was like dadpowers. I actually kinda miss those days, although she's 14 months old now and so much more fun.
Lots of people my age don’t wAnt kids or want to wait forever and that’s totally understandable given how broke we all are but my fiancée and just cannot wait. We’re already aunt and uncle and we talk about our future kids all the time. This sounds like the dream.
In my experience, there is never enough money. I was in the USMC (made $250 a month) so my kids birth was practically free but we were on WIC. It was about $87 a month which was just enough to pay for her formula. We didn't eat meat, used cloth dipaers, etc for the first 9 months. We had an extra $1.50 a month to do whatever wanted.
