Interesting question, I'm excited to hear Leo's response. I have a 1 year old. It's challenging to find time for anything beyond essential duties. But I love my son my more than anything. John Lee Domas talks about a "baby effect" that can be motivating. All the sudden there is another person that is completely dependent on you for everything. So it becomes easier to do whatever it takes to provide for them. I've read The Selfish Gene, it provides some interesting prospective on offspring :-)
