no offense to you breeders…but I have no doubt I don’t want that kind of responsibility!
besides, I don’t meet very many women that would make a good mother (despite what they think). Maybe just because I have a very good mother, or maybe because our modern culture has turned them into ….
We have two daughters. The youngest is pretty, down to earth. A very cool kid. The oldest is drop dead gorgeous, god bless that child. 5’1 blonde hair, green eyes… weight about 105 lbs. Without a brain in her head. She’s the one the mechanic called me at home about. Begging that I would please explain to the child. That free oil changes did not come for the life of the tires. True Story.
I had a vasectomy after my two daughters were born a couple of years apart. I separated from my wife a couple of years later. Fast forward a decade or so and wife number three’s biological clock starts ticking very loudly. So I get a reversal (expensive and painful). Couple of years after that, we embark upon IVF. VERRRRY expensive and, sadly, fruitless. But…… The year after that, we strike lucky with daughter number three (for me) and then 18 months later, my son arrives. I’m calling it a day at four kids. I’m 50 and tired. But I have lovely bairns, the oldest celebrating her 20th birthday in Philly today (she is studying over in the States), then 17,3 and the wee fella is 21 months. Hard work, but they’re all such blessings. Don’t rush into a vasectomy because it is a life altering operation which deserves a bit of thought.
