I once read a line in a parenting magazine that has renewed clarity for me now:

Bring on the hard core sleep...
Just think of it this way. Eventually, children will sleep through the night. Eventually, you'll be able to close your bedroom door and not hear someone call you when you finally start getting romantic.
Mind you, that could be 18 years from now, but hey... goes like the bat of an eye, I tell ya! [insert appropriate smilie here]
(Congratulations, by the way. Oh, and I've voted for everyone so far.)

Major congrats, Zulu! Glad to see you're still able to find time for fwfr. Prioritisation, huh?

Great news, Zulu. My first two were girls. Then we made the mistake of having two boys. |

Don't listen to him Zulu - my first two were boys, then we made the mistake of having a girl. And she's been killing us ever since (which is probably why we didn't try for one after her...). Boys after girls are fine, girls after boys will make you bald or grey VERY FAST! |

No, no, NO! My daughter's a teenager right now, so one can expect a little bit of hell. The boys are great and hardly give me any trouble (only my wallet complains). Once they're all out of the house, I'm truly looking forward to being a grandmother. |

NO! (says the sleepless father of twin three-year-olds daughters and a one-year-old son.)
But congrats. I'm sending some votes your way as a gift.
Thanks Yukon, your three sound a big handful! I hear that twins are tough going. |

Sean, what nobody is mentioning is that kids will make you more happy than you thought possible. When my eldest says she loves me, it is even better than my experience with those drunk twin sisters when I was 19...I've said too much, but believe me, kids are wonderful...and I got almost 4 and a half hours sleep last night.

Yeah, I know. I've got the best nephew and niece on the planet, and love 'em to bits.
I'd like to have kids if I could skip the first 3 years, and have them leave home at 13. |

Kids are great until they grow old enough to choose movies.
We're off to see The Wild in a couple minutes.
