    It was fun to write.
-It was fun to read too. I did a podcast a while back about pregnancy from the fathers perspective in which kleinbl00 talks about how he's writing a journal/letter to his daughter that he started when he first found out his wife was pregnant. He refers to it as a "mea culpa". His plan is for her to read it when she turns 18.

What age would you suggest your future kids would read this advice? It seems to be pertinent from a young age.

Thanks for reading it thenewgreen!

I didn't really have any age in mind. I guess I would just refer back to this at various points as a reference. I mean, it is as much a letter for myself at least as much as it is a letter to my fictional future kids.

I like kleinbl00's idea a lot for his journal, but I like to think this is more open and about how to deal with practical problems as they come up.

Also, didn't know you had a podcast, so now I'll be subscribing to that for sure!
