My wife and I are starting to consider children.  I'm worried about the intricacies of raising a child.
Starting a child is a really scary thing. What concerns you the most?
One major thing is whether I'm going to be a good enough parent and have good parenting skills.  I'm also worried about affording it all.

I really enjoyed making the show, so the thought of writing and going back there again is really fun and exciting, but I haven't made a decision on what to do next."
