Changes in Priorities

It sure did. Though I am not really a father of any child yet, having little nephews to take care of already made me think much about their welfare. I even thought that when I get work, I'd surely contribute not only on daily expenses at home but also to educate those nephews of mine. I even couldn't watch certain videos while they are around since I wouldn't be a responsible uncle if I let them see things ahead of their time. No regrets on that since, surely, I would eventually experience that same thing even whem they aren't around.

No life has changed my priorities..Lol..I have no regrets. Funny I only spoke to my hauband recently on life and wisdom gained..My comment was it is a shame as we get older,we learn and gain some wisdom,only to find ouself too old to do anything with it!..Lol "Have a great day"

I don't have kids yet, but my friends do and I certainly observed that they really change priorities. The ones who used to enjoy life happy go lucky is taking life seriously like every hour matters. Another who used to spend pleasure anytime and spend all her money is giving full attention to saving every dime for a child. They are gifts and they bring you the good reasons to live for the better.

There's nothing to regret if I see my children grows up. There are my life and my everything more than everything I have and i will sacrifice everything for them. That the colour of life.

Having kids has certainly changed my priorities in life, or rather put my selfishness on hold for 22 years :) When I was expecting my second child, a friend of mine said to me that she was so worried that she wouldn't be able to love her second child the same way as the first one and she adored her first child. Then she said to me that after the birth of her second child she immediately realized that you can never love one child more or less than the other, your heart just grow bigger. I will never forget that. And no, I will never regret anything concerning my children. They are my everything. They helped me through good and bad times in my life. I'm forever grateful for the gift of my children.

I couldn't agree with you more. If you had asked me ten years ago to define my life now, I would never have imagined it the way it is. It's difficult for someone who doesn't have children to appreciate what a difference they make to your life, and to what extent you are willing to put your own life on hold or change your plans to accommodate them. Saying all that, I would never ever go back to those days. This is the way to be!!
