Question: Why did you have children? Answer: I also always wanted to be a father. I was the oldest of 4 brothers and they all ended up marrying and having children before I did so I had lots of practice with my nieces and nephews. I thought I had it all worked out when I got married and had my two children but discovered that (surprise) I didn't know everything. Regardless it has been the best experience of my life. I guess we have done okay because my 9 year old son told me before Thanksgiving (so it wasn't just sucking up for a good present) that he wanted to be a good dad like me when he grows up.
