Bringing up children

[WorthyOtter]

Just curious, no matter the age of your children, if you could go back would you do it all again, and would you do it exactly the same, or would you do anything differently in bringing up your kids?
Seen a post earlier that got me thinking, im a FTM to my 8 month old son and it's all going so fast already, trying to enjoy every moment even the hard times!

Yes, overwhelmingly I'd do it again.
I have 3 young adults who are all well rounded, funny, kind, hard working and mostly happy people, so we must have done something right.

Of course, you can pick over choices here and there and wonder what the other route would have resulted in, but I know I can look back and think I did what I thought was best at the time for each of them for every choice we made for them, and I don't think you can do better than that.

I think I'd do everything the same (which is quite rare as I'm normally someone who does punish myself for making the wrong decisions!) only thing I would have liked to have had them when I was about 5 years younger

Agreed. I didn't want kids for a long time, now I've had my son I wish I'd had him earlier so I'll have more time with him lol
