Yes, really 

 You've never flown on an aircraft for 15 hours next to a screaming child that isn't yours have you? Lol 

 I have, and it doesn't change my opinion one bit.  

 I’m generally a piece of shit but my one redeeming quality is love for children. Brings out the best. 

 🤣 stay humble 🙌 

 TRUTH 

 Yes. But I’m outnumbered, and feeling the weekend-end burnout. Looking forward to monday morning in the fiat mine, cannot lie ☕️ 

 Children are the hope of our future. After all, they are next in line in building a better place for the world. As adults, we must ensure that they learn the essential values and skills to improve and progress as people for the betterment of society. 

 Especially when you can return them to their parents. 😜 

 😂 

 I joke, of course. Mine are teens now and I absolutely adore watching them discover who they are in the world.

 YES.

MAKING THEM TOO. 

 I'm not sure what I was looking for but I found this and now you have to read it too

 LMFAO 🤣🤣 YES https://image.nostr.build/24a3dd1d18ed33dbe5bbcd43dfbbf69a44452b2cc98896d100685220683869d5.jpg  

 Except for them. 

 IDK I hear they burn through a lot of sats. 

 There's definitely an opportunity cost to raising children.

I'm not sure that you can quantify the return that they provide you though. So far the return has been in them forcing me to grow as a human & the odd reciprocation of love & affection. I'm betting that there are other benefits to come as they move into adulthood.

I'm hoping that they start generating their own sats soon. 

 Best to have a low time preference.  I look at fatherhood as a long term investment. 

 True 

 I dunno, I just went down to the store a grabbed a few, but they just sit around crying for their mommy nonstop... No fun at all. 

 Yeah and they're also little shirts who need to be taken down a peg or two.  

Life's full of paradoxes.
