Well Tony tap dancin' freakin' Iommi on a stick. Judging by the media, having kids is the super awesomest most fun thing on the planet and there are no downsides whatsoever. In fact, if you don't want to have kids and perpetually do family crap like watch Frozen, you are a freak and downright un-American.
Unfortunately, I know all too well from the life and death of my younger brother to know certain eventualities that can occur to a young human and dramatically impact all of those around.
That's a long story. But people act like pushing out a kid is all peaches and roses...it's not.
When I hear about another one of my friends becoming pregnant I hope to God that nothing is wrong with the child. It can be Hell if there is.
Do what you want in life, just know what the heck you're getting yourself into, that's my philosophy. People who rush into anything with their brains turned off (marriage, kids, jobs, school, etc.) usually are unhappy. People who do something who truly want to do so usually end up satisfied.
