I hear you, and I do see your point.  The mess in the nappies is far better to
deal with than the mess in the real world.  That is the hardest part of being a
father, having your generation leave a good legacy for the next one.  I kind of
think that when you become a parent, that is just as much a responsibility of
yours, as is feeding them and cleaning them.
