[quote=Anonymous]I was married 9 years before we had our first - and traveled the world, partied, spent (and invested) lots of money - but one day we just decided we were ready for kids. I do miss the DINK lifestyle, but only sometimes. Mostly my kids are a complete joy and make the days so much better. One idea - we got a dog about 2 years before my kids were born, because I wanted a dog - not as a test. But, the dog was a great way to introduce responsibility into our DINK lifestyle and get a sense of how our division of labor would work. I was the one feeding the dog, grooming him, trimming nails, walking, etc. DH loves the dog, but didn't really take care of the dog. Same is true today - DH helps with the kids, but the feeding, bathing, school paperwork, etc. is primarily my job. He's gotten much better at helping, but I am still the primary parent. Glad I knew that before I had kids! :)[/quote]
