So, when are you two going to make a baby?

[elmcitymaven 9,711]

Or rather, the flip side for us, since people knew we wanted to have a baby:

"Oh you STILL haven't gotten pregnant?"

"Oh don't worry, it will happen when it's supposed to happen."

"Just don't give up hope!"

"That's so sad."

No, we still haven't gotten pregnant.

It won't happen at all, thank you, as we now know.

There's a difference between giving up hope that we'll have a baby and giving up hope on life. Sheesh.

Yes, it is sad, thank you so much for pointing that out to me.

Just as insensitive, and maybe a little more offensive. I find it amazing how much other people -- especially people who aren't particularly close to the people concerned -- seem to give a damn about whether other people are procreating. I know it sounds lame, but I've actually stopped going to a manicurist after she lectured me on how I won't ever be fulfilled as a woman without a child. Twice.

I personally want to have baby asap but I know I can't finish my study if I have baby now

Good thinking, si man. Around here, 5-month-old Mini-Bone, albeit healthy (knock on wood) and good-tempered, is a full-time job, si man.

Remind me to never shake your hand ever again.

That should optimally be a sperm-of-the-moment decision, se men.

We have 'em, but it has never occurred to us that it was our business what other people did. Nor is having them any kind of feat. So you had sex, OK that's not rocket science or a triathalon.

Not a triathlon you say? You clearly aren't married to a Russian.

My mother in law keeps asking when we are. I just keep saying I am trying.....everyday.

I also still find it amazing that you must have a license to drive a car, keep a pet, go hunting or fishing (in some places, maybe not all?), hold certain jobs, etc., but to be a parent--- you can just have sex.

It does seem ironic, that those that should breed, do so rarely, and those that shouldn't, do so prolifically.

Wife wanted a baby in a really bad way. But she had her tubes tied years before she met me. Me? No way!!! Unless it happens in some miraculous way then OK. Looked into in vitrol, tubal reversal and other methods but the costs were astronomical with no guarantees that it would even work so that was off the table.

But it wasn't like we didn't have any. We brought her two boys here, now age 17 and 21 - The older one moved out a couple of years ago (Thank you Lord !! ) . I also have two girls same age (stay with us and with their mom). Plus my daughter made me a grandfather. So we do have a little one running around the house.

She even wanted to adopt but finally, she is content to just have me

get a cat or a dog.

[isleta521 5]

Got the cat reluctantly but no dog -spent to much time,$$, and effort to landscape the backyard and dont want the headache of teaching it when and where to do its business - maybe some day. And some egglayers - Rhode Island reds and black Americanas.

Less maintenance than kids and without the drama when they are preteens and teenagers.

Just tell them that it depends on the mailman.

I thought one had to check the Farmer's Almanac before one planted seed, best to make sure your Cummins Onan generator is ready to produce, si man!

BTW, it's great to hear the little one is doing so well, if he takes after his father he'll be a very punny fellow, no doubt.

Bill, no offense, but I for one am truly grateful that you won't be adding more conspiracy theorist/global warming deniers to the stock. Thank you.

It seems I have a rather busy mailman ...

It's like you red my mind. I suppose that he has a package for special delivery.
