    i cannot imagine having 3 kids, never mind 7 thinking about another one. I really admire you for havng the patience and time for each of them. I think i would be in a mental home. lol

    I'm patient with no-one but my girls :rotfl:I'm thinking they are growing up now and a baby is all about timing. If in the forseeable future we remain secure, both financially and relationship wise, then it is an option we will likely pursue.

    For what it's worth, I never wanted kids and after each one, never wanted anymore. I think i've done a decent 'job', so don't fear anymore. In fact it's a nice idea if still a little scary.
    Wrong of you to deny Lucy???

    What a strange way to look at it.


    I am certainly glad that my husband (who had 3 boys already) didn't just decide to have children with me because it would be 'wrong to deny me children'. In fact, I would find that incredibly insulting.

    I apologise if I have picked up on a minor point or a turn of phrase and turned things around but personally I would rather be without than be given a child 'out of duty'.

    Aye, I think it's been turned around as you may not have seen previous posts where I said i'd like more children.

    My point with this post, was that if Lucy wanted children and I didn't, we may not last too long. Not because we don't want to be together, but because naturally a female is going to want children. Most do and Lucy is no different.

    As i'm easy either way - I want more children, but wouldn't pressurise Lucy and end the relationship if she didn't, then it's an option for the future. I see relationships as full of compromises, and this is one thing i'm very compromisable on. If she said tonight, let's have a baby, then i'd likely talk with her explaining I felt it was too early, but in a few months...who knows. I certainly wouldn't forsake my happiness, but i'm open to the idea and i'd love any children from my relationship with Lucy, as much as I adore my girls I already have. It's all about timing, I feel 36 going on 21, mentally and physically.

    From reading MOTM's post, I would imagine that you have picked this up and turned it around to be honest. I don't think he said he would "give her a child out of duty", but I can certainly understand that with 7 children already, he is not desperate for any more. However, if he loves her and she wants a child, then I think it's quite a selfless act. It in no way implies that he would not want or love the child, just that he could live without it, but would let Lucy make the decision.

    I'm going to hire you as my spokeslady, as you put it so much better than I could.:T

    I know when I got my BFP for Ed because I was taking Chris to a special event at Martin Mere so the date is on the photos - I'd have to check but I think it was 29th Sept 08. I knew it was gonna be pos because I couldn't face eating my welsh cakes - I'd never turn down a welsh cake unless suffering morning sickness!!
    my Chris BFP was a bank holiday in may so could prob work it out or knowing me I'll still have my 2006 diary with it written in :p god that day was scary!!

    ps. pram gone too high, I'm "doing a Tia" being really stingy :cool: I checked and some have sold for <£60 so I'm going for £75 inc p&p, I'd like it for april so plenty time to get one

    how do you know it's a stray? cats are well known for having more than one 'owner' and just to prove you don't want one can you see this [LINK REMOVED]
    cats are un hygenic!
