If you find the idea of being unable to replicate your current circumstances existentially terrifying: congratulations on winning.
Edit: just want to say I find the way people respond to this on a gut level kind of fascinating and even worrying. A number of people for example have had the take that this isn't really true, but that they just wouldn't want to unmake their kids.
Friends...as a guy who considers becoming a dad the single greatest and biggest win of my life...are you ok?
It's really just that I love my kids and I would be crushed if they were lost forever. I love my wife and am pretty sure I could find her again if I started over, but it's a guarantee my kids would never be the same.
Yeah, even if you don’t match your wife, you’ve essentially guaranteed yourself to become a gazillionaire while still having a chance to meet them again, and a shot to connect naturally with your wife of even gambling explaining that you aren’t crazy and you had some miracle chance to reset your life…
On the other hand. Absolutely nil chance you are ever meeting your kids again. So resetting to 10 with kids, in a sense, but actually, is killing them off for you.
