Having Children.......

[beastboy]

I know some may not be abel to relate....and Nathan will probably paper cut himself to death after reading this but.....

I was thinking today......about the things the make me the most happy...and I thought about my wife, and especially my daughter....I don't know if I could live without her.....I want another child, but the selfish part of me knows that some of the material things I want will have to wait. I've decided that when my wife is ready for another child, I am as well.....why not add anohter "something" that already gives me a reason to smile and live.

Has anyone had thoughts of not having another child even though they have and experience so much love for them, because of their own selfish desires?

I think I have finally gotten passed mine.

Jesus fucking Christ. Save it for the Britney forum Daddy. Just when I thought I was getting to know you.

But you didn't know....that my children are to be sacrificed in the name of Jesus....and Billy Bob. (j/k.....I would die if my child died)


back to the topic at hand......

Look, love your kids all you want pal, but I sincerely hope you have the balls to swear in front of them at least once in a while, mix it up from time to time and bestow upon them a good sense of humor and a deeper understanding of the nakedness of humanity. I mean Christ, if I had to guess, I'd say you were a good dad, one of a damn near extinct breed, but it's stuff like this you should tell your kid, and only your kid, a few select times over the course of her life. It means more and she'll remember it more profoundly. Choose your words carefully, and be memorable, rather than some ranting jackass who can't express himself for the life of him so he repeats himself over and over, consequently losing his precious audience in his staggered recital of his "feelings".

My wife has seriously mentioned Adopting a baby from another country as she cannot have more herself.

At 41, I as well took the selfish route thinking of all the duplication of bills with another child and having to start over again right when we have the one kid pretty trained.

I have the $ and the love to give to another child.
I just don't know if the lack of sleep and baby stuff could be tolerated.

MY daughter was extremely sick and the first year was a nightmare.....that also figures into my thoughts. BUt looking at the way she is now.....it was worth it. BUt I sure as hell hope it will be easier next time. Oh, and I want another girl....boys are brats.

Naynay.....I think you made me cry..............................actually not, I just pissed myself due to a boner.

Gymtime....go fold yourself over like a garmet bag. What woud you know about kids, other than they make your sheets crispy.

Wish I had something to add to this thread...all I can say is good luck to you and your wife. I have no first hand experience, but from what I have seen a baby is a true blessing.

i picture having a child is like owning a really smart dog that is way too expensive.

yea and it's a lot easier to get rid of the dog if it pisses you off

Having grown up in a home where my mother did in-home daycare, I think my biological clock has been permanently snoozed. Spending the ages 5-17 with a playpen in your room and being banned from it during naptime is enough for anyone to have an aversion to kids.

Although I know it's different when they're your own, I've been married 7 years and have yet to feel that maternal need.

I am perfectly content with my dog. And besides, living with my husband, I've got just about all the immaturity that I can handle.
