No that is the beauty of children. If you raise them right, and they grow up listening, then children become an asset that will reap many rewards many times over. Eapcially as we parents grow older as well. They even tend to make us younger too, even if it is in mind only. 😁🤙

I didnt have kids until I was 40. I was resigned to not ever having them. I had been married to my HS sweetheart but we always had stuff going on….
