    Default Too many kids?

    Mary has been 'nesting' lately. She wants another bay-bee. I sorta like the two we have. I'd have to sell my car for a (gulp) sedan (thinking CTS-V). But...I'd love the chance to be somebody else's daddy.

    I already have to be the father-figure to a few of you nutball libs; I think I could handle another.



    I'll keep ya posted.

    Only if you were to debate me.

    Well if she's already nesting it might be to late to change her mind.

    The more kids the more interresting life becomes.

    Enjoy the "trying" !!!

    When I first got married, I couldn't wait to get pregnant. Had a horrible pregnancy and decided that was IT! The along came Janeen, then John, and finally Jim. There were times I wanted to kill them all (especially the last two), but all in all, they brought me more joy than grief! Now that I am a whole lot older (and not in the best of health), I thank God every day for the wonderful children He has given to me!

    Interesting? that's a word for it.

    I think -Cp was the guy who said he's NEVER known ANYONE to say, 20 years later, "boy, I sure regret having (x-many) kids.."

    I'm just Glad my wife's parents didn't stop after FIVE kids.

    I guess I could have used another word but it really does get interesting with more kids. It also get louder and busier

    It's fun to watch my older two interract with the younger ones. Trying to talk me out of putting them in time out, giving them hugs behind my back.

    It's amazing and exhausting all at the same time.

    My eldest and youngest would be about 9 years apart - same as me and my oldest brother.

    My oldest and youngest are 9 1/2 yrs apart and I thought at the time that was a huge difference.

    Now, for better or worse, my 14yr old is the 5yr olds hero.

    It's not about us 'needing' more kids, I suppose - it's about us 'desiring' more kids.

    with all due respect, I worry she is one desiring more, and pressuring you to have more.
