Pay off your student loan. Even if you don't have a job...Because when you finally get a job you're going to be one of us.

There are no absolutes in raising children. In any stressful situation, fathering is always a roll of the dice. The game may be messy, but I have never found one with more joys and rewards.

Don't talk yourself into not being you.
