I couldn't agree more.
Although I can't say I was happy at first (as shallow as that sounds), trading my fishing schedule as well as *
desire* ...for a child?...but looking back, no regrets what-so-ever. It was harder when he was still a baby and didn't communicate much....but that didn't last long, because honestly, he didn't do much but sleep eat and

(while her and I sat there saying...."awww, so cute"...yeah, that can only last so long, LOL)......but once they start learning, asking questions and look to you for guidance, the satisfaction I got from that was and continues to be priceless....and I can't state this enough, the more YOU put into your child, .....time, love, devotion, etc...the better the outcome.
If your child hardly sees you or spends time with you....the deep trusting relationship you hope for, will never develop. Just my opinion.
*Desire?....yeah, the bright and ever-glowing drive to fish as much as I could........is extremely DIM. I won't allow it to extinguish, but it's definitely laying dormant until the days with no soccer practice, hockey practice, swim class, CCD, homework-time, reading time, prayer time, etc, etc....

......come back???
Parent-hood is NOT a responsibility one should take lightly...and more importantly, not one you dump on your wife or husband. When you're the head of a family, lead by example.
KUDAS to you Jay, for making the better decision.
The regulations are in place, the fish will always be there (although some may disagree)
For now, Good Luck being the best dammn dad you can be.
God Bless ~
