I'm a single parent of a 14-year-old and I remember feeling that way. Once she started school, I started to get little pieces of my old life back. As she got older, I could get back more and found that there were some parts of it that I didn't want any more, and the parts I did want had become infinitely better…

You're not selfish, you are NORMAL! Signed, a mother of two who adores her kids, but sometimes thinks, "Man, remember when I used to sleep in? that was awesome..."

M.I.A is the queen of my heart. In a way, she did 'Yeezus' before Kanye West with her album 'Maya'

Go read his comment and mine again. You obviously didn't before posting this.

My wife is in the same boat after our second. We've had 2 perfectly tempered wonderful babies devoid of all the horror stories we've ever heard. I've pushed for a third but she's not willing to put her body through it. I get it and my vasectomy is scheduled. :(

No. Chic is gone. When the rhythm section of an R&B band is gone, then that band is gone. He should have just released this under his name. RIP, Bernard Edwards & Tony Thompson.

Love the song, but the "dancing" on the floor is sooooo awkward. Cringe!

Kudos to you, dad.

Father of two kids here, age 3 and 5. We had them 20 months apart. Absolutely no regrets about it whatsoever. BUT....be prepared. Going from one kid to two is a MAJOR change. For us, it was way more than we anticipated. We are blessed with two beautiful kiddos, but know that there is a massive workload that…

Why is that a "problem"? You're acting like your brother is some kind of monster because he isn't in favor of having another child. And the comment about his wife and daughter "suffering"? Dude....pump the brakes. There are millions of families that have one child.

Also, for a lot of moms, it takes about two years or so to feel like themselves again, physically and in all other respects. After enough time, many women might simply want their bodies back and not go through that childbearing and early childrearing again. (For the record, let's just all agree here that it's not…

My husband and I have one child, and I really don't see us adding another to the mix. As the post mentioned, we both feel like we hit it out of the park with our little guy, so why screw that up? Also, being pregnant is at the very bottom of my list of things to try again.

Few things I find more enraging than people who say they're "trying for a girl/boy."

I had one, and never wanted any. Guess that method works. ;-)

As someone who just had their first kid I can definitely say there is no way in hell I am doing this three times. Twice I can handle and our budget can handle. We can play 1-on-1 defense instead of a zone, all sounds good. People who have 3+ are crazy to me, this is way more work than I anticipated (although it is…

I always thought I'd have two. After an ectopic pregnancy, though, and being told I'd have a greater risk of it happening again (and possibly dying if it went undiscovered), we decided not to have another. It's painful to not really have a choice and sometimes I mourn that lost possibility, but writing this has…

One thing me and my wife are learning and keep getting told is that there is no such thing as the perfect situation. There will always be something that would hold back the decision, so we're going for #2 :D

That sounds like a dangerous approach ;)

Or you could have 4+ like women did during the Baby Boom and figure all of that out after the kids are here. My mom had eight of them. She turns 82 this year, and she has 8 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.

Yeah I can't really wrap head around the 'American is going to shit' part of your statement.
