....BOY!! Im so excited and have been out and bought a few outfits! Has anyone else recently found out the sex or planning to? If you have found out, i just wondered if you have chosen your nursery yet? I think im going to go for Babies R Us Safari friends, its def my favourite blue set around.
My friend has been married for 3 years to a guy who has two daughters (aged 12 and 15) and had the snip years ago. Now she is pining for a child - this is not a new idea, she has always wanted kids. I just can't figure it out. She said it just never came up in conversation before they were married and she assumed he would get a reversal. Makes me want to shake her!
I have had 2 relationships where the bird I mean lady had kids. In both cases I was more of a father than there biological fathers having said that their mothers were both mad.
Both spent no quality time with there kids whatsover and the result one was in crack houses at 14 and the other developed ADHD and was a regular bed wetter at 10. Shocking really but then you think why should I be playing the responsible parent.
They go through a sterilisation, then decide they want it reversed either because they have met a new partner or simply change their mind.
My problem is that neither of us want another child yet Mr P still hasn't had the snip! I think I am gonna have to get some house bricks or pop along to the hospital myself.
Rev, how can you not want kids but be happy to get involved with a woman who has them?
I dont introduce guys to my kids. My friends think its weird but it seems irresponsible to me to have a string of uncles in and out of their lives. Although saying that with my new hermit lifestyle I havent had a date in ages, sobs!
Because of the love I had for their mothers I was prepared to try.
In both cases i'd missed out on the early years (11 & 8) and I knew that if I wanted to be with their mum I had to be there for them. I am good with kids but inevitably it all gets thrown back in your face and the mothers took the pi** by abusing my good nature.
Soulette I have in the past *coughs* met "ladies" off the internet and have met their kids within an hour of meeting them. I agree with you about the uncle thing.
Thats a shame Rev. To me it would be a grand gesture from me to let a man be a part of our family and I would hope that he would cherish that. It's a daunting prospect though as a single mum and I don't understand why other single mums don't think these things through like me. Some women are diabolical arent they?
My youngest is 6, Rev. My oldest daughter has an ASD (Aspergers) so I think there is something genetic..my paternal grandmother was autistic..quite severely, I believe.
It's a long process which has already been going on for 2 years so you might understand why I need a little light relief ;o)
Oh yes Goodie..totally agree about the uncle thing. I had a few when I was a child. Mr Pippa met my two oldest after I had been seeing him for almost a year ~ and I was damned sure he was for keeps!
Noooooo way. Lol, I dated a guy for the best part of this year and he never met my kids. HE asked about it but it just didnt feel right, he played a few games and I wasnt gonna have that happen with the boys.
