When I got married I inherited 3 little kids. I can tell you that raising other people's children is only rewarding once they have grown up and moved away. I like my step children a whole lot more now that I only see them on special occasions.

However, having Jolene was the most awesomest thing that I have ever done! She has been a joy to me from the day she was born. There has never been a time when I thought that I would have enjoyed life better if I had not been saddled down with her, in fact I have never felt like she was a saddle in the first place.

My point is, you will never really know the joys of having a child until you actually have one of your own. One that is half you and grows up to look and act the same way you do!!! Trust me, there is no comparable experience to that!
