Kids are essential for when you have a bad day at the office. Sometimes you drive home, feeling like a loser, picture putting a wet towel on your head and kicking the dog.

And then you open the front door and your little girl comes running to you, oblivious to the “loser” label you’ve given yourself, oblivious to the problems at the office, in fact oblivious to everything except the fact that you are a legend and must immediately be updated on what flavour ice cream she had Georgia’s birthday party.

Kids give you perspective, confidence and above all, an irresistible reason to be happy.
