Who has kids?

Just for fun, who all here has kids, and how old? How does having kids effect your lifestyle and/or beliefs?

I have a daughter who is 5 and a half, and a stepdaughter who will be 11 in exactly one week Shocked

(I'm not ready to deal with puberty!!!!)

My kids don't really impact my lifestyle, because I try to live what I feel is a good life anyway. I will say I cut a lot of my partying when I met my husband, but that has more to do with not having a reason to be out running around clubs and such. Much more fun at home Twisted Evil

I do go out of my way to show my daughters examples of being kind, generous, forgiving, etc and how to balance those with maintaining self-respect and integrity, because it's too easy for girls to go *too* far with it and become doormats. I don't want that for my girls, I want them to stand proud on their own, while still helping others.

I have no kids yet but it seems that I have, because I am the one raising up my first nephew. I love and enjoy him the most. And it doesn't effect my lifestyle anyway.

How I wish to have my own child soon.

Unfortunately, I don't have my own kid yet. Hopefully, I'll be having soon. I have a 4 year old little sister. She's very cute. A very naughty girl but smart just like me. She serves as my inspiration of working hard.
