So married w/2 kids for me. Sometimes it feels like single with 3 kids though....
Funny, my wife would answer the same......

For myself - Married 7.5 years, known my sweetheart for 10. Two kids, ages 5 and 15 months.

And I'll agree. Married and married w/ kids are two totally different animals.

It seems like a high percentage of married people have kids though...Shit..I know guys who married a woman who had no interest in having kids and then a few years later she/he changed her/his/their mind and now have 2-3 kids. Kids just seem so expensive. I think I might be a big brother some day though..

It's really amazing how your priorities change once you have one though. In the big scheme of things, i bet if you asked just about any parent out there, they wouldn't refer to their kids as "expensive", but rather as "priceless"

Yes and no. Wouldn't sell one of my kids for a million bucks, but wouldn't pay a nickel for another one. ;)

Married, four kids, ages 12, 8, 8, and 2.

My oldest son and I have skied together quite a bit over the last few years. Again and again I would wait for him to catch up, or encourage him to try harders trails, then one day last winter I was surprised to discover that we were skiing at the same level. That lasted one day. By the following weekend, he was waiting for ME.

Ahh the 'ol "try it before you buy it" scenario ;)


I've always felt that a couple should live together for at least a couple of years before popping the question. I've also always felt that a man should wait until he's at least 30 and woman her late 20's.

Similar here, we were together for 10 years before getting married. Plus we were good friends for 4 years before that. I can't imagine getting married only knowing someone for a few months (or even just a couple years for that matter...)

That's kinda disturbing. I didn't read the whole article, but I skimmed parts of it. I must say I was a little worried to see talk of sex with robots and the mention of Sony's Aibo robot dog and Tickle Me Elmos. :eek: Hopefully the context doesn't suggest what I'm thinking, but I was way too lazy to actually find out...

You really shouldn't call your kids dogs. Hurts their self esteem. :-D

My daughter sometimes likes to crawl around on the floor and bark like a dog. Would it still hurt her self esteem if I called her a dog in that instance??
