IMO Procreation is the meaning of life. I love my 2 kids more than life itself. Maggie is 3 years 2 months and Max is 1 year 5 months and they make life worth living. When I put my daughter on my sholders she says, "look dad I'm tall like Yao Ming". You have to bring them up right.
Well, someday I'd like have kids. But I probably should wait till after high school....or do I? (J/K) My sister had a baby about 9 months ago and he really makes this feeling stronger. Yeah, he does cry, and poop, and pee, and wine, and get in trouble, but when he looks up and smiles at you, it is pretty amazing...and he's not even my kid. I sister practically lives at my house, so my parents and I have had plenty of experience with the baby. Things may change though....maybe when he'll start the terrible two's or whatever they're called.
LOL...but he is your nephew...and he knows you...so he smiles. He must be happy! Maybe you have played with him before..
Actually, he smiles at everyone. Here, he would be called an attention w****. I do play with him. I was just talking about the feeling you get when a baby smiles at you. I don't think there is any way I could be sad, mad, or anything like that if he smiles at me. And like I said, he's not even my kid. I have no idea how I'd feel if he was....probably sick since he's my sister's son. *Throws up!* (I need some smilies.)
Ms. dylan and I have had many talks on the subject. She is currently in grad school so we are at least waiting until she finishes that first. I certainly am not of the opinion that my life will not be complete if we don't have children but it seems like it would be kinda cool also. We're in the "wait and see" school right now...
Something tells me i should report this post to someone, wonder if Clutch could pass it on to someone really high up in the world, maybe Morgan Freeman
Manny, You'll have the patience. When you meet your beautiful little ladies, you'll get the inner strength for the patience, and much more. It's hard to put into words, but when I hear my 2 year old say 'Good night Da, Love You Da' as I leave her room at night, it's just fantastic and wondrous.
Let me be more specific. I do want to have kids and I'm very excited. In fact, some day I would love to have two boys and two girls. But I just got married 8 months ago. My parents had kids right away and they never had time to get to know each other while they were married and things didn't work out. So I'm careful. My parents want me to wait. DarkHorse's Mom is another story.... That's why I'm jumpy about the issue. Plus I'm still young...
I cannot wait to have kids. I agree with what RC Cola said ... both my bro and sis have a kid each, and I love them both to no end. If I'm having a bad day, I make it a point to stop by either of their houses to play with the lil ones and it completely sets my mind at ease. They've thrown up on me, and even that is 'awwww' inducing, lol.
the problem with kids is, unlike dogs or cats, you can't leave them in the backyard or home alone when you go to work!
