Hey, farts are awesome. :p

I agree that it's this sort of trap a lot of people fall in. That some people just think they do have that inner parent and jump right into it without any real deep thought about what they're committing themselves to.

I like to think so. Heh

Awww that's a great quote. Gonna have to use that. Hehe

And I used to be an English major. Lol

Huh huh "swallow meat." I'm sorry. Couldn't resist.

That is pretty bad. Lol I guess by that logic, Idris Elba is an African American from England?

Awwwwww man....

awwwww That's so sweet. hehe

Before meeting me, my wife was on her own, and she admits that there were times when she really regretted the hell out of having my step daughter when she did. To be honest, I completely understand why she was so resentful. Her douche of an ex had basically brow beat her into getting pregnant, and then kicked her and…

hah I was kind of like that at one point, as well. My parents always burned the hell out of steaks/burgers growing up, and I thought that's how it just was. Then I got daring and ordered a medium rare steak in a restaurant at one point, and the blinders were off.

It's rare, but I have honestly heard that from a few couples, and not in a joking manner. It was very clear they were at their wits end and weren't sure what to do. We're lucky, I'll admit. We have a good support network in case we have any issues we need help with (and we have), so I can understand how some people…

Oh god , of course not. I'm sorry if I implied otherwise. A couple of good friends of mine have a sweet kid that is also damn bonkers at the same time. I'm not sure how I would handle that. It just bothers me to hear so many parents make such a definitive "never have kids," statement. Every case is different.

But what about his feelings?!?

I am so glad I waited to have kids. Like, I thought I was ready before meeting my wife, but I was soooo not. Would not have gone well.

Sadly, I've seen that happen to the kids of a few relatives and friends. It sounds horrible, but I hope for the best but prepare for the worst. All I can do is hope my wife and I do our best, and see what decisions our daughter makes.

Just saying some people are not meant to have kids. Just not wired that way, and they end up getting pressured into it or thinking they're ready for it. Not everyone is the same.

My wife sounds a lot like you. I've never been a "party person," but my wife was pretty wild person before we met, and I think it helped her be ready, so to speak. Lol

Totally. I have two friends that are an amazing couple and super great people, but they absolutely do not want to have kids, and they're probably right. Thankfully, no one has tried to put that sort of peer pressure on them in our group.

To be honest, I'm just 90% messing with you at this point. I'm so sorry. I just couldn't resist heh
