Someone posed this question on r/askSingapore and I posted my experience. Little did I expect to get more than a hundred upvotes (and counting). Something must have resonated with my fellow men, so I thought it would be a pity if I didn’t share my perspective with everyone here. Here goes:

I’m 42, my wife’s 39, and we’re expecting our second child next month

What your friend said is true, but parenting takes so much out of me that I know I would be darn resentful if I were to give up my 20s - the prime years of my life - on child rearing. To each his own. And yes, my wife and I were married for like 4 years before we even started trying. No regrets because we went to Maldives for our 3rd wedding anniversary 😆
