Have a good time, because these people, this place - it's just not worth it." You know? I can't do that anymore. I look into those eyes and they look at me so trustingly that I'm gonna make sure that [they're thinking], "Hey, you did a good thing bringing me into the world, daddy. I'm going to have a great life!"](/assets/img/quote-photos/if-i-hadnt-had-my-children-i-would-have-been-discouraged-a-lot-quicker-it-woul.jpg)
