Honest questions I have...

Why did you decide to have a kid?

We didn't.
The first was concieved after a drunken Christmas party.
The second was planned.


After you had a child, did you feel like you had to give up a lot of things in life you would do if you didn't have a child?

Hell yeah. I worked 2-3 jobs to make ends meet. Any semblance of a vacation was maybe 5 days a year.

Did having a child make your marriage/relationship better or worse?

Better. We had a common goal.

Did your kid(s) become the most important thing in your life?

To a degree, yes. One tends to put your family first.

Even more important than your spouse ?

No
