And yes, the wife thing is kind of an important aspect of the fatherhood thing. My advice: don't settle. You'll know her when you meet her. I also felt the same way about appreciating the peacefulness of my life Before Lucy, and was quite worried that my life as a dad would pale in comparison. But so far, the experience has been one I wouldn't trade for the world. (And it's a lot different when it's your own kid, too, as opposed to a niece or nephew or something like that.)

I'm 40, single, and only until recently have I kind of wanted to be a dad. If I ever do, I'll be a little older as I chase my kid(s). But, at this point in my life, I'm most concerned with trying to meet the woman of my dreams (and possibly the mother of my children). Oh, and trying to find a job. It is really difficult for me to envision fatherhood without a wife in my picture. I'm not sure if I'm like other guys, but I never wanted to be a father for father's sake, but more out of love for my wife. I don't know if that makes sense. I love to visit my best friend who is married and has an almost three year old. Ever time I visit, chaos erupts...the dog, the kid, the dirt, the crying. Her daughter is absolutely beautiful and I love to visit, but I also come home every time with a renewed appreciation for my peace. Someday, the peace and quiet may disappear, but I feel better knowing (thanks to your post) that life can get a lot better. Jason:

Yep, anything worth having requires a little effort, which in turn makes the reward that much sweeter. Be sure to take the intake on the Adultitis site -- I have a feeling you won't be diagnosed with a full-blown case. Jeremie - I'm glad you appreciated the candor. I remember hearing Eddie Vedder (lead singer of Pearl Jam) talking about when he had his little girl. He said the experience made him feel like everything he did before she came along was a waste of time. Now I get what he meant. Tyler – thanks.

However, every time my son hits a new developmental stage and can do more and interact more I fall more and more in love with being a Dad. At 20 months I still yearn for free time every now and again, but my perspective now is: "what did I do with all my time before Fionn? I don't want to go back to that, it would be so boring." Now I am busy trying to create new ways to make money so I can spend even more time with my wife and son, I am getting addicted and don't want to miss a second of him growing up.

And, the reason it's better is because you have to work at it. I love the Adultitis site - I'm going to have to show my wife. Very true Jason…easier is not always better.
