Does anyone besides me ever look around and ask themselves ... "What now?"
My sister tells me my problem is, I don't have children. She says if I had children, I would never again think about what I am going to do with the rest of my life. I say to her, "That's all well and good, but I don't have children, so, WHAT NOW?" She just shrugs and asks me if I would like to have my nephew. I say, "Ummm, thanks, but then you would perpetually wonder what you will do with the rest of your life, and I wouldn't curse anyone with that turmoil, not even you." Just goes to show, there is no lack of love between siblings!
Hey, I love my nephew, but if I am going to have a kid, I want to mold him to my own liking.

As a mother, I'm afraid I had to smirk at your comment on molding him to your own liking. I have four kids, and molding isn't in the cards; you get what you get, trust me;0)
ReplyDelete@Cinette -- I will accept your smirk, because you are absolutely right. What's that they say? Best laid plans ...
ReplyDelete@Coffey -- That is exactly the attitude I need to take! Cuz this coming up with NEW goals is harder than it sounds.
:)
ReplyDeleteFunny how many parents seem to be so eager to let someone else have their kid(s)...
The world is crowded enough - I think we got enough kids ...for now.
@Iggy -- No we don't, we need more children to balance out that the Baby Boomers and Generation whatever it is now, so that we have some hope of supplementing our retirement income ;)
ReplyDeleteI actually like children, but the closest I have ever gotten to my own is the daughter of my second fiance. She still loves me :)
