50 here , and I have a 2 year old and a 14 year old running around the house This was not planned. I was freaked out . This really changed everything in our lives, like plans for retirement, and just how we live our daily life . Then my wife lost her job in the professional world, and we are now strapped with 2 kids, and less than half the income we were once living on .
It's hard, no lies, but man , do I love that little guy . All he wants is Daddy . I can't wait to get home and spend time with him every night .
There is a whole lot of love in our household , that may have been missing in recent years .
Remember, we lost a little girl 5 years ago, and it really messed with all of us
I would not have chosen this , but now that I am living this life, I could not imagine it any other way . It is like I get to experience all that joy, and love over again . I get to share my life , and nurture another little human, and it really fills my heart
I think he has the bug too. I can't keep him out of my tools
Best of luck in your situation,
