The wife is trying to convince me to…

[jakeman]

Im not saying this to be adversarial or anything, but I have spent a lot of time solo driving thinking about the "selfish" thing in general. I have come to the conclusion that there really isnt an unselfish side to any discussion/argument.

I was an only child until my half brother moved in with us in my early teens. I can't imagine growing up any other way. My wife was one of four and couldnt imagine growing up any other way. I think the correct answer lies with each house.

I told my wife before we got serious that I had no intention of passing my genetics on and there was little to no flex in my position. She had two truly awesome kids, 5 years apart, and that was enough for me. I stand by the fact that I got to cheat the system. The kids were thoroughly vetted beforehand and no gambling of a genetic slot machine was necessary haha. I can't imagine any kid feeling any more like mine than these two and I get to pass on the parts of me that are worthwhile, my personality haha.

I never had any either, that I know of anyway.

I have a 30 yo stepson. He moved in here when he was 8. His mother has moved on, but he's still here. Not as much as I'd like, but he sees me more than he sees her.

He don't look like me, but he acts like me.

As to the OP, it needs to be a unanimous decision, and I'll just leave it at that.

Life was perfect with 2. Now we have 3 and it’s chaos. Have the 2nd one and get your balls clipped!

This is how it went for us . . . we have 2 girls. My wife was asking about a 3rd. I made my appointment shortly after.

Any wife that's pro 2A, is a keeper.
Do what she wants, she's the boss.
Go for another, the world needs more kids!
Raise them right, raise them to be a good person, raise them to love, under, and think for themselves!
Rock on!

Man if she somehow got a 8lb jug of IMR4064 for me I may have to just give her the best 30 seconds of her life.

The important question is HOW OLD ARE YOU GUYS? If you're over 30, my answer would be no. If you're under 30, I say absolutely. Diapers are awful, but the next decade is awesome with babies. You'll only regret them every once in a while. The times in between are 100% worth it. Those smiling faces, those moments of teaching, those bright eyes looking to you to guide them and show them the way.
Kids are awesome - until you hit 50. You don't want to be chasing rebellious teens at 50. You want to be enjoying iced tea and grand babies, or vacations.

Hell I'm 37 and still don't have kids in this country. Lol
