Have 2.

Done.

My wife and I have 2 children, she wants more and I don't. Odds are she gets what she wants!

Good looking kids ya got there Fulton....
True dat..... if she wants more... she can 'accidentally' forget the pill. OOOPS!

3 kids for me. A son and twin girls. I probably would have stopped at 2, but three isn't all that bad. I'm sure it will get worse as the kids get older.

I think we might go with the tried and true "Pull Out" method and see what happens. I found the inlaws a house 2 blocks away so we get a lot of support from them.

They support the "Pull Out" method on their daughter?

I've got three, one from a first marriage, one adopted, one from my second marriage. The first is way older, so he's a great helper. The other two are going through their terrible 2/3/4s at the same time, so my hair is much grayer now.

I grew up in a family of 13, and it was cheap because we were like hired labor from age 5 on, working on the farm and producing income. You could brainstorm ways to do this if money is an issue.

I think three would be fun if they were spaced about 3 years apart. Two of them a year apart is torture.

I can't take care of my cat....or myself.....so I don't need any kids.

I knew Canuck and Gaupo had kids but its a bit surreal some of the posters I had pegged for late teens who would grow up eventually are grown ups with kids.

That's my territory.



Is the kid an Alabama fan too, if that's the case I completely understand

at the way you bypass the bad word filter, shit it's even better that you do it on words that don't even need it.

Hey you know what you should do? You should get a vasectomy and not tell her!

Oh I KNOW. Lying and deception is the best way to form long lasting relationships. Then I can cheat on her too and not worry about strapping up because I can't get anyone pregnant.

or you could 'accidentally' sleep with your secretary. OOOOPS!

have zero.


I'm sure Ill regret it someday, but it's too late. the wife can't have them now.


So we get out fix by spoiling the multitude of small nieces and nephews. It's a riot, so much fun.


I don't know how folks do it with lots of kids, for all the reasons Sean mentioned.


I say savor the 2 and be done with it. They will get to have more too as they grow, which is a plus.

only if its over hot coals

Terrible 2's is a myth. The real terrible is all of 3 and the first half of 4. Kids are just awesome at 2.

Also, I totally agree with the putting them to work thing. My 7 year old does all the laundry for the whole family. She even folds it and puts it on the beds of whoevers it is. My 9 year old has the kitchen. It has to be spotless after school and after supper before he can mess around. My 6 year old boy has the foyer and family room, and my 4 year old has the playroom. My two year old only has to pick up his room, but he's really good at it if you tell him what to do next.

The only bad thing about having them so close together was having 3 in diapers at the same time. We never pushed potty training and probably should have, but now we are on the last one.

jesus christ, no wonder vaginas are so important to you, you're spawning an army.

i dont want kids




oh wait...im sterile!!!..SCORE!!!!

Well I would Q F T this if I had 17 kids like brvheart, but I especially agree that terrible two's are a myth. 3 is when they really think they own the world.

You haven't even hit puberty yet so you shouldn't be thinking about kids anyway.

Ditto!! Thank God my doctor finally tied my tubes after me begging her for 10 years!

Old story from sickie thread.


When I went, it was a small waiting room at this urology clinic with about 40 people. The nurse yells loudly across the room, "Mr. Reed, are you here for a vasectomy?" So red-faced I nod my head and she calls me to the counter, then ushers me down a hallway and hands me a cup and escorts me to a bathroom. After I finished and returned the cup to her she freaks and says, "Oh Mr. Reed, we only needed a urine sample."

LMAO!!!

dead to me

LOL NH



QFT



Nor are the benefits. I <3 my kids.



The whole college expenses thing is going to have to change soon or no one will be going. I wouldn't worry about college for new babies right now. It's just not worth worry. I put myself through college. I don't think it's out of line to expect that the child bear the majority of the burden.

I have four. Kids. They're exceptional children and I LOVE them. You learn a lot from having them. It's always worth it.

Side note: OMG the snow and wind here.

i personally think 2 is perfect...especially since your boy is older and can take care of his little sister when they get old enough to venture into the world. You also get to experience having one of each so you're not left with the void of only having one gender. If you had had a 2nd boy, i would say try for a girl, but since you have both, stopping now is ok. On the other hand, your wife makes beautiful children, so there's no harm in having more.

JESUS! Wait, you don't believe in him....

We have the one daughter, she's almost 12 now. We are obviously done.

When she was 4, wife said, "You want another?" I said, "Not really, you"? She said "Nope, I'm good, if you are".

That was that. We had said initially if that once our 1st was 5 or so and we hadn't had another we were done.

I got snipped and it's been great.

Yeah but more kids would cramp your "lifestyle". So you are not a good example.

LOL......Lifestyle!
