Chris,
I have three kids under three years old. They are a ton of work, but man are they worth every bit of it. As far as hoping you will be a good father, I wouldn't worry about that, I mean look at the good decisions you have already made, you are putting a rotary engine in your homebuilt airplane. Obviously you make wise decisions in life. You'll be fine.
Best,
Ben Schneider
