Someone has to offer a dessenting view
My late wife and I both agreed that having kids was the biggest mistake we ever made. You are committed for at least 2 decades and, it turns out, longer. It is just possible that instead of getting the best from each of you they can get the worst of each of you and even I am not perfect.
I'm lucky that my kids (boy 26, girl 28) are both pretty good kids but even then I wouldn't do it again. And I have friends who have total horror stories that are not, to me, explanable.

Will's doing really well, we had to take him back in to hospital for observation but he was fine (the NHS is a wonderful service with medical professionals who are equally wonderful).
We actually got four hours of unbroken sleep, last night! Now we just have to prepare for the decension of visitors.
Thanks for all the well wishes, they mean a lot.

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

Does a query (thats a question Stile) that uses this physical reality, to look for an answer to its existence and properties become theoretical, considering its deductive conclusions are based against objective verifiable realities.

I believe this is where grandparents come in handy.

There will be rumors ...
...one of which is that there is sleep.
Congratulations.

Congratulations!
Nothing is more important, more life-changing, and more satisfying than having a child together with (in my case) the woman you love.
That being said, that little ! woke us up every two hours for what seemed like a year.
But in the end, now that she is 23, damn I am beyond proud of that woman.

I am sorry for your loss as my wife died in 2012. That is a level of hurt only the few have undergone. It hurts forever.

Congratulations Larni! As my Dad said "You were a lovely baby, but a little bollocks for the sleeping!"

Congratulations ! That's great news :-)
Enjoy every last minute. They get less cute, but stay amazing.

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?
