    Reasons to Have Kids

    They smile at and laugh with you when you get home from work at night. They express their love for you in more ways than you can imagine before having them -- from silly bander to snuggly naps. They reward you with their excitment at mastering a new talent. Every evening they enable you to forget work and all of its stresses and focus on home, family, and how lucky you are to have people who love you. Giving love results in getting back love ten-fold. Its this giving and receiving of love that makes us happy and content. From my perspective, its the love that children freely and willingly offer their parents that makes them so precious and such a tremendous addition to one's life.
