i love my kids, love having kids, but truly, if I knew the deal going in as to caring for the pups and how it would all play out, and setting aside all the emotional attachment I have to these kids now, — that is, if young me could (wihtout knowing the kids) just see the future videotape of what kind of shtf type scenarios would be playing out during the whole course of caring for them while married — NO WAY IN HELL I WOULDA DONE IT! i woulda run so fast to the vasectomy clinic i wouldnt have had time to get nervous about the procedure…

but i guess i shoulda checked the balance sheet and seen if I had the resources to care for them before that fateful night…
