I would be a loving parent, but that's not in my card.

I love my kids so much, that I'm not going to create them in the first place to subject them to the horrors of this world and the ultimate fear of death.

I have 2 kids and I love them and yes they are an asset but at the same time they are expensive. My point is... Once you have kids, I guarantee you will be more risk averse. The best time to start a business is before you have kids or after they've grown. You won't find a lot of people who quit a good corporate job and do a start up with small children at home. Clearly there are a few, but they are outliers. If do start a business with small children at home, you'll need a highly supportive spouse.
