That is true, Doom, but being able to take care of a pet is the first step.

Yeah, I'd rather stick with pets. Still, it's fine to tickle babies. I like the way they squirm when you do. ^_^

Well, that's true I suppose. If you can't keep a guinea pig alive, for goodness' sake don't have a baby. xD

Truthfully, babies scare me and the idea of ever having one is truly terrifying for me.

Well it is scary to know that you're completely responsible for them. It's so easy for a baby to get hurt if you're not watching them constantly. >.<

The pregnancy thing creeps me out a little.

Just a bit too Alien-esque for little Doomfishy. xD

Ewww pregnancy.. -makes a fish face-

LOL. Fish face?

Yes. A fish face. ^_^

That's a very odd response to pregnancy. >.< I don't think fish when I think pregnancy. T_T

I feel it conveys my emotions very nicely.

If I got pregnant, I would NOT respond well.

I'm currently trying to find a doctor that (A) will give me an IUD, and (B) won't charge me an arm and a leg for it.

IUD? @[email protected]

Intra-uterine device.

Basically, the best birth control over.

Lasts up to ten years without any fiddling or extra work. ^^

I never had any children, so I cannot comment on the joys of raising a child. :)
However, my step daughter did move in with us when she was 13.

I can certainly comment on raising a child who is 13, but thinks she should be treated like she is 35.

Ha!

My mum just remarried in January - her husband has a seventeen year old. It's been... rough for her. xD

Ohh. Other than abstinence, you mean? ^_-

Perhaps. But abstinence is just not happening. ;) ESPECIALLY for the next ten years!

Hi everyone! How are you all?

I've had a busy day today and, it's not over yet. I took my daughter to see an adviser at the college she's going to attend, that took forever. I had to work this morning before that, last day of school!!!! We have graduation tonight and, of course, I have to feed my son and me some time in between that. I was hoping to be around a little more today but, life is calling.

Bah, life. xD

Life gets in the way of.. life..

Indeed. xD

My huge to-do list is definitely getting in the way. -.-;;

I was able to put my son down for a nap. Am watching the latest Wolfman movie - so full of gorey goodness!

Ooh, I wanted to see that.

Glad your son cooperated. xD

It's pretty cool. Horror with a bit of a Shakespearean vibe to it - the tragic, wow-your-family-is-nuts - variety of Shakespeare.

I was 33 when I had my daughter and 43 when I had my son. AND I'm now taking grad classes again. Now, I'm not on drugs.
