Thread: Sometimes I visit friends of ours who have recently had kids

  1. #1

    Sometimes I visit friends of ours who have recently had kids

    they look exhausted, miserable, broke, on the verge of divorce,

    Yet they insist that we should have a kid. And when I say you are a good example of not having one they get offended

    Then they say it's the greatest thing.
    Then I say I've just been on holiday and they look sad.

    You either want kids, and take all the negatives and positives that go with it, as they will change your home and social life forever.
    Or you don't want kids, and are happy with the life you have. It isn't a half hearted decision

    It annoys me when people insist. Every single time they keep talking about it. I feel for this particular couple the baby is a distraction to fill other voids.

    Lad who works for me is a new parent, 5 months or so.

    Oh how I laugh at the state of him while reassuring him it does get better and easier.

    Around years 3-5 was a doddle.

    My eldest is 10. He was doing his school homework on Tuesday IUFG, and in his sentence homework they have to find replacement words for a specifically underlined word in a sentence.

    The underlined word was “plastered”, as in a few too many.

    Does your Mrs want kids?

    I suppose you either put up with all the **** that goes with having kids, or you risk dying alone

    merely reinforcing the stereotype of your own people, sw. fine work by the local education authority, there.

    What word did he use to replace it?



    BTW - The youngest is 9 and I don't remember any 'easy' years tbh.
