I agree. I want to adopt eventually, but Andy wants another biological child first. I think int he near future we woul be the perfect foster home and could go from there to adopt. In addition, with my quals we could be a treatment level home, which every state is hurting for at the moment. I totally respect his opinion though. His way is the 'norm' and my idea is way outta the box, so IMO that means he wins.
Yeah, I love having twins. It's hard work, especially when they're babies, but a whole lot of fun too. And the bond those two share...even though they're fraternal (boy and girl) they're really close. Those two have this connection that's amazing sometimes. They'll tell me what the other one is thinking or how they feel. I'll ask one what's wrong and the other one will answer for them. They do that a lot, talk for one another. Sometimes it's frustrating when you're trying to get one to tell you something but the other answers for them because you want to hear it actually come from their mouth, not the other's.
Males are dominate on my fiance's side of the family... he has a brother and the trend is that there are two males then a female. In my family there is no trend. My uncle has twins and my aunt has only one son and my other aunt has two daughters. I hope our next one defies the trend and that we have another girl. Butttt who knows.
haha yeah, my mum used to say me and my brother were so much work when we were little. Stuff like say my brother would go and play with one toy and I'd see him with it and want it, then he'd give it to me and then start playing with something else. Then i'd see him with that and want that instead! I think we took it turns We don't do the whole talking, feelings thing though. EDIT: How old are your twins?
Maybe this is sort of were we disagree. I am not saying no one who cannot afford to put a lot of money into having a child doesn't deserve one- but for me personally, I think if I didn't have the money to put towards adopting a child, I have no business producing another.. the same could be said about a car for me, if I can't put the money towards a safe reliable car maybe I personally feel I shouldn't get one yet ,and rely on public transport or other means instead, kwim?
sounds great! Yeah, I joke but I love the lil ones. One thing I aint jokin about is that I will never desire to father another child. It is a lot of work and money. I think 3 is enough for me.
i wish i had a sister twin or not, i i grew up with 2 brothers, my mother was the only one of her parents children that ended up with more boys than girls. we are a total girl family, on my mothers side except for her kids which are 2 boys and one girl, so yeah i often wonder what i'd be like if i had more girl influences as i was growing up
Until you know for sure, the best idea is to use birth control. But, it sucks that so many people just don't understand the concept of taking a little pill each day so you don't have an unwanted child. It's easy, many women do it, and if you aren't doing it, then start.
