I always have more patience for my friends' children than my own. Perhaps because they are more unpredictable to me.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792024433016175379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375911142681743076.post-48892047070850264112010-10-09T22:37:13.416-07:002010-10-09T22:37:13.416-07:00You are truly weird.You are truly weird.Pinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242842676224139609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375911142681743076.post-59158234126243068392010-10-09T21:52:09.956-07:002010-10-09T21:52:09.956-07:00I think the next time that I'll want babies, i...I think the next time that I'll want babies, it will be for a snack.

I was thirty-five when I gave birth via C-section. Post-pregnancy recovery was so much harder than it would have been for younger me. I don't have any semblance of my pre-baby size five body left. I am going to be forty in a few weeks, and my son turns five in January. In short: I have been utterly exhausted for the last five years. And my husband, who is one those awesome men who actively helps raise his own child (crazy concept, right?) couldn't race to the doctor fast enough for a vasectomy. We <i>know</i> we are too old and tired to handle another infant/toddler. <br /><br />There is absolutely nothing wrong with deciding not to have kids. This way, you get all the best parts of them. The fun time. And as you mentioned, you get to be Auntie Lori, giver of drums, candy and soft drinks. That's what aunties and grandparents are for. Anyone who has a problem with that needs to remember that the aunties and grandparents are watching your child for you, which is the best gift anyone can give a tired parent. Bless you, Auntie Lori! :)Tawnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10188683676180842751noreply@blogger.com
