That used to be me. As cheesy as it sounds and with all the work you do, you really can't explain the joy that a child will bring to your life.

i’m 28 and have 2 kids….my daughter turns 5 2morow actually!!!

all I can say is I have no idea how I’d be able to handle them if I were 10 years older….they drain all of my energy as is!!!

still wouldn't trade them for the world though!!!

Yeah I've heard that before from my sister or my friends who have kids. I think that's great. I really do.

I'm not a knuckle head or anything..not usually lol..but I have a hard enough time supporting myself...especially these days.. I really don't want to put a child through that. And my wife..ever since we started dating..which is a long time ago...doesn't want kids. And we get along quite well.

Well, we'll be getting a small return this year. With the wife running a business out of our home every year, we hold our breath come tax time.

I am just waiting on the end of year report from my broker. He takes forever! I don't know if it is normal or not, but I won't be surprised if it takes another month.

I think it is taking way too long... unless you have thousands of accounts with millions transactions last year.

[LeAnn]

Very true. I guess I will call him tomorrow. I don't really know what he is up to.. I know I have whatever is earned reinvested and the only larger transaction was my car. I should probably pay more attention. I just know my report isn't up and generally isn't ready until after everyone has done their taxes. Maybe I am just really low on his priorities. Or he doesn't appreciate that I never want to meet with him...

I don't know what I would do if they ever blocked this site at work. It would be back to the crappy VGF on Amazon.

I can't wait to get home and play some Mass Effect 2

Enjoy your late 20's LeAnn. Kids can wait.

The thing is, you cannot judge kids using the example of other people's kid. Some kids are true monsters because they are not being properly taugh by their parents. One can have kids that are kids, act like kids but can be well behave without having to torture them. Some adults like the idea of having kids but don't take the time to take care of them properly, they think of them as little toys.

I always say, first see how certain people take care of a pet dog, if the dog turn's into a monster, you can just well imagine the type of kids they will have

[LeAnn]

I have very disciplined dogs who like to kill things... keep the area secure. Maybe my kids would all grow up to be super spies... I want to be a super spy... or ninja...

[SonOfArathorn]

Speaking of ninjas... I am going to try out for American Ninja Warrior next season. Already have the trip planned and everything.
I figure with all the working out and what not I might as well try and put it to use, need to up my cardio a ton though.

Everything starts and ends with the parents. I have a large extended family, so I've seen both sides of the coin. I've also come to the realization that the character of people can change (dramatically in some instances) before and after kids came into the picture. The notion that anyone and everyone is made for parenthood is a fallacy.

awesome good luck with that I have wanted to try that, even if I didn't make it past the first obstacle, think it would be cool to give it a shot

[LeAnn]

When shipping something to France flat rate is 7-10 days, and the next option is express... one would think when you say "About how much faster will it be" the respose should NOT be "less than 7-10 days" grrr these boys can be so frustrating.
