16 Crucial “Mistakes” People In Their 20s And 30s Almost Always Make, According To Older Adults

“Enjoy your life before any kids arrive. After our first kid, my wife and I would look at each other at the end of each day and ask, ‘What the hell did we do before kids? We must have wasted so much time!’ (Now, after the third kid, we ask ourselves what the hell we did when we just had one.)”

“Once you become a parent, you have a 24/7 responsibility. It will be culture shock. We always tell our single friends (we call married people without kids ‘single’), travel, volunteer, etc., before it’s too late. Trying to do all that stuff with kids is orders of magnitude more difficult. You won’t have nearly as much freedom after having kids as you did before having kids. Don’t take it for granted!
