Gazing upon ones children having fun with their siblings is one of the most heartwarming feeling known to humankind. (We have just returned from our vacation - our teenage/young adult children joined us) On the flipside however, it is axiomatic that there is no gain without pain!TheLionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05758836436602670021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11733678.post-91044759090156809022009-03-02T09:50:00.000-05:002009-03-02T09:50:00.000-05:00briana, I will point out that at least women (and usualy men as well) are wired not to mind it when their kids do this to them. . .yonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04876831969877780546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11733678.post-29057536173013068332009-02-22T01:00:00.000-05:002009-02-22T01:00:00.000-05:00Hey Brianna<BR/>I just wante dto say I too spent a lot of tiem with kids before I became a dad (I am a child psychologist fo rmy sins) but nothing prepared me for the joy of having my own two munchkins. Now they are 5 and 7 they actually entertain themselves and each other really well but i wont pretend it wasnt a rough ride at times, we had more than our share of illnesses with them, my wife and I did indeed get barfed all over on several occassions (once it was projectile vomiting and we just had NO idea what was going on. We were thankfully laughing about it by the third round that night as we ran around washing bedding and changing the babies clothes yet again.<BR/>Having children is the best thing we ever did, my wife was not sure she was ready and her clock was ticking loudly, at a certain point we had a vacation where we just sat down and worked it through together and she decided to go for it, now she regularly thanks me for helping her make the decision to go ahead and have a baby.<BR/>Good luck with all this, you sound like a woman with her own mind and I am sure you will use it to make your own best decisions, but i would hate for you to wake up at 42 and realise you had missed out on the best thing in life!Robertohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01957066116151731555noreply@blogger.com
