You could be my oldest friend - we're 41 but otherwise your story is exactly the same (though his #4 and 5 were surprise twins) and this anecdote is right on. They have on multiple occasions had waiters in restaurants tell them that some random stranger anonymously paid their bill for them. He's a partner at a law firm making about $200k.
I have 3 kids, two girls 8 and 6 and a boy 2. The latter was my wife's desire more than mine but fortunately he's healthy, good natured and a great sleeper
I always said anyone who had 3 kids was insane. I still believe it
We were on easy street with the two girls, but I do love the little guy and couldn't imagine things without him.
