Grappling with the decision to have kids can be difficult. It can feel wrong to choose the childless path, but in reality, there are major challenges that come with having kids to consider. 

For a lot of people, having kids has always been a part of their plan. However, many people experience challenges that would make kids a source of great instability.

In this Reddit thread, a man describes how a once daunting decision became the best, most rewarding experience of his life. Other users jumped in to explain how kids are an important, automatic support system. It was clear Reddit users found the thread relatable to their experiences. 

With kids being a widely-recognized norm, the topic is rarely explored. Because of this sneak peek into how kids could influence someone's life, many users nominated the individual's story for several Reddit awards.

We highlight this story to represent the value of children and the idea that people are often unprepared for the weight of the commitment. Still, in the end, children can serve as a fountain of love and happiness. Therefore, we encourage people to remain open-minded as they continue to mature and consider the next step in their lives.
