Am I lucky to be an only child?

Well, I am an only child, and I considered myself lucky in the way that I had my parents' attention all to myself, didn't have to fight for that, or share my special stuff with someone else who might not take care of it. If I needed or really wanted something badly, I always got it...

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 10:59:37 -0700

Do you think its hard to find real friends

Has bringing up children become too complex and demanding, shouldn't it be a little more simpler i.e what to eat, constant activities, looking to constantly entertain and making sure they have all the latest gadgets?

Yes, I believe it has. Kids used to be a help to their parents, now the parents serve the kids. No wonder families are overall much smaller than they used to be.

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:48:21 -0700

What do you wish you had known about caring for an infant before you had one of your own?

My guess would be a UTI (infection of the urinary tract) probably of the urethra. Of course I don't know that for sure, but they feel like that. I'd go get some cranberry extract pills and some AZO standard and take them with loads of water to flush out the bacteria. I take 3 or 4...

Answer to Does having children ruin relationships and marriages?

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:31:26 -0700

Does having children ruin relationships and marriages?

I wouldn't say it ruins them if you're 100% committed, but once you have children, in my experience, you are no longer a husband and wife, a couple, able to have fun with one another. You become the mom and the dad, co-parents, and teammates. It makes you grow up and forget yourselves...
