If so, why do you want them / how do you like it?

I hope this can be more of a wholesome post about cute stories, instead of more dooming and glooming.

I was never a family person, nor want children. Got a daughter by "accident" (yes, I am stupid). Liked it to be a father, and got three boys in a row (not an accident).

How I like it? Well sometimes its hard, holidays for example aren't holidays, it's when I am full time available for my kids, going to work is nothing against this. And trouble number two is: we live in a country that hates children, but most of the time I play with these situations like: "kids are allowed to be loud", etc.

I'm nervous about the world we left for them. Should I train them for Mad Max / Terminator - scenarios or simply told them that this planet is fucked and we are all doomed especially their gen? /s
