I don't know. Life is such a mixed up journey and you don't always know if you've made the right choice till it's too late.
Do you and your wife get much time alone, one on one? I know, for me, once we had our first kid both my husband and I were in a perpetual state of parenting mode. Which left little time for the two of us to be close and connected. I miss the fact that we can't just go out because we feel like it, or have a quiet dinner at home together talking. This was a big problem for us until we started proactively scheduling time to spend together. It sucks having to prearrange things, line up a sitter, not to mention its more expensive since we have to pay someone to watch the kids on top of what it costs to go out. But sometimes we just simply plan to put the kids to bed early. Typically, we'll let them read books in bed, so long as they stay there quietly. But it gives us some much needed couple time.
