      Yeah! How dare someone without a child share their opinion and relevant life experiences. That dick should know we don’t care for his type here!

      None taken, friend. I understand that, but I still think about these things a lot. I’m still young enough where I could have a happy accident, even if we’re not trying. My mind is always on how to be a good father if it did.

        Not having the Futurama brain slug that comes with having a child makes you a more objective and better observer of parenting in my opinion.

          That’s hopefully the plan if that time does come. Two of my three sisters lived at home and single while raising their first kids, so I tried to help them out as much as I could. I wouldn’t be completely blind going in. I’d be fretting a lot at first, though. The world would seem much more dangerous with a kid to worry about.
