I find it odd when people my age have kids (1 Viewer)

[snakybus]

my bro and his mrs have recently had their 2nd child. I think he put it very well when he said that "one kid is like a hobby, two is hard work".
Nail on the fucking head.
My sister says that the third is easy.

No way, third is the hardest of all.

No way, third is the hardest of all.

My mam said that two is grand because you have two hands to hold on to them with but when the third comes all hell breaks loose.

Then again she had four so it must not have been that bad.

Im happy to stick with just the one.

having two is tough going but wouldn't say no to a third. Maybe in a couple of years.

Funny how it's all the guys who are debating over which child is the most difficult.

 

[snakybus]

It's not which child - it's the number of children.

 

[whathappen?]

and then I suppose it depends on the age gap between the babies. My Mums friend has 9 months between two of hers .I'd imagine that was unreal lol.

My cousin is about to have her 3rd and the eldest isnt 3 yet.
Thats bloody hard work. then again she started having kids quite late so I guess she has to bang them out quite quickly.

I had mine young so I have aaages before I have to think about putting myself through the horror of child birth again.

I can't drive, don't have/want kids, have been in college for more years than people go to secondary school. I'm a card carrying member of the selfish, pointless, useless, cunt generation.

One is brilliant. It gets trickier with two, especially the tax and insurance.

I've been a Dad for 13 weeks now and I can only say that my life has improved a zillion perecent with it; although my life is now also commensurately scary, as I have daily frights about something bad happening to Thomas.

Amazing place - after ruffians broke into my car in Galway and destroyed the sterring wheel shaft he found me an identical one in a scrap yard in N.I. and got it down and installed it - all for 350.

Apart from the loneliness and crippling exhaustion, owning a Ford Escort has been mostly ok.

My mum had four kids aged 6 and under at the age of 32....I don't know how she did it!
I don't think I'd have more than two children, but I suppose you can plan for things in life but life will do what it wants.

I think having a kid is bizarre to most people who don't
have one, regardless of their age. it's a whole different
set of priorities/responsibilities.

like taking smack, i'm sure it's totally amazing and all but i'd rather take someone else's word for it than ruin my own life.

ruffians! good god. where was it parked when that happened?

my ma had me when she was 36 and left it at that. if i ever have kids i'm going to follow her shining example. but the whole thing sounds like a bit of a dose to be honest.

When my dad died, my mum was left with eight of us between the age of 5 and 19 - I have no idea how she managed. I just assume that we were all in some sitcom that has been wiped from my memory.

Jesus Ro, that's tough going. What a woman.

Another one pregnant now...

Beware shes going to give birth to Damian.

Serious.
