ENTP Dads

Did you always want to have kids?
Are you glad you have kids?
If you could go back in time and not have kids would you do it?

Wife not yet preggo, but I'm personally very excited to have kids.

Yes: as far back as I can remember, I've wanted kids. I've always had a natural rapport with younger children while growing up (large family), and decided at a young age that I wanted some of my own.

Whether they want me is really the question.

You're an ENTP? I thought you were an INTJ.

lol something tells me they will want you, Night.

I've been an INTJ for most of my life.

My recent job switch = far less burdensome minutiae with which to pollute my soul.

ENTP is a more natural fit.
When I'm not frowny, I'm an ENTP.

I just had a girl a few months ago, so I haven't been at this long, but

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) No

I think I would make a great father

I was gonna contribute but I figured my situation is too anomalous for me to be of any use as an example of ENTP fatherhood... not least because I'm simultaneously my kids' biological mother...

I think I would enjoy being a father, but it's too soon now- lol.

While technically off topic, I just want to say that my dad is an ENTP and he's the BEST. He's very expressive (always tells my sis and I how proud of us he is), has this fantastically wacky sense of humor (ex. imagine a white dude walking around with a laundary basket on his head singing "ba-naaaaa-nas" in honor of his Haitian wife...), always supportive no matter what (never once have I felt like I let him down), and a worthy opponent for political and religious debate. To sum it up, he's crazy about his wife (of 25 years), loves his kids, and is an all around great human being. ENTP dads = awesomeness.

side note: my mom's an INFJ... how cool is that?
