Young children are an immense joy but later you might have moments of doubt when your children are in their teenage years.

By then, you're not their source of truth anymore. They'll rather rely on that guy on Tiktok, or on their buddy who dropped out of school or on their girlfriend's uncle. In the vicious culture environment we live in, you can quickly see your children spiraling out of control. It can be tough as a parent because you often feel powerless and you can never be happier than your unhappiest child.

I feel lucky because one of my children has now vigourously bounced back and is doing great as a young adult. But I have several friends not as lucky as me. And my second child has not made it yet to the other side, the jury is out.

All in all, I don't regret a single second having children, it's an incredible adventure, but it can be a very bumpy road.
