I found this article in Forbes interesting, where they discuss the benefits of being married with children:

• Family time relieves stress
• Family teaches you to play well with others
• Parenting = multitasking
• Parenting improves self esteem
• Marriage requires negotiation
• Raising kids is leadership development
• Leaving the office helps you find new ideas
• Family helps you bounce back
• Children help you develop patience
• Spouses teach you to compromise

The one important note ‘Just having kids won’t make you a better manager, but being actively involved in raising them will, according to the study’

Interesting. It also makes you wonder ‘What did I use to do with my Saturdays? I must have had so much free time .. What did I do with it?’ (smile)
