Ridiculous Poll Re Another Kid

[Deleted]

Yes

[gault]

It depends on who you identify with in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

If you are a Donatello and your H is a Leonardo, and you think misotiny is definitely a Michelangelo, then are you ready to have a Raphael join your family? ARE YOU?


You're welcome.

@lazerus24 told me that if you agree to have a second, she'll agree to have a third.

I literally took our baby swing over to a neighbor tonight. I want that shit out.

I'm done!

[gingerjar]

Yes! I am an only child and wanted my child to have a sibling.

[nikki25]

No but I am bitter mother of three, lol. I was content with one and lord was my life much easier. My DH finally talked me into another and I end up with fucking twins  

[MixedBerryJam]

I voted yes because baybeeeeeees. But really, I'm curious, how did someone vote twice? 

[cbwm1]

Having only one is amazing.

One kid to get ready in the morning. One kid to put to bed at night. One kid to wrangle in public. One kid worth of expenses. One kid who is freaking fabulous at playing by himself. No more diapers to buy. No more potty training. No more sleepless nights or colicky babies or PPD.

Having more financial freedom. (The big one!!!)

Whenever I feel baby fever coming on, I consult my above list.

Misotiny needs a MisoBrony.

Nobody needs a Brony. Ever.

We're one and done for medical issues, but I have to admit, it's pretty nice only having one. What's the saying? One kid is an accessory, two are a lifestyle? Since you like to travel a lot, one makes that easier. He has plenty of friends, cousins, and neighborhood kids to play with, too.

Someone on my fb says 'one is fun. Two is poo' ...

[papie]

The answer to that question is always yes. Unless you are me, then it is definitely no.

[underwaterrhymes]

I voted yes for two reasons.

First, you've indicated you might want two.

And, second, you don't strike me as someone who would let a second child keep you from doing child-free stuff any more than the first one did, and I think you'd have a lot of fun with the kids, too.

[auberge]

Absolutely yes. For as much as I get overwhelmed, it's awesome having two.

Plus I do have to say I'm so impressed that you and your DH have kept up with your travel plans and generally seem relaxed. You are great parents.

You can do it and those eggs aren't getting any fresher. Lol j/k

[Deleted]

The thought of having multiples is terrifying.

Thank you all for your input. LOL.

[8675309]

Is this when I warn you that Mother Nature gives you the awesome easy first child to sucker you into the 2nd one......that may or may not be the biggest toddler terrorist ever.

Just wonderin.

[iamgrace]

Yes, because at one point you said if you had one, you were going to have two, because you felt strongly about siblings.

So, taking that into consideration, I believe you truly WANT another and perhaps don't feel your family is complete. I can speak from experience and know that that specific want trumps any practical consideration.

[Waffles]

Absolutely. If only because I'm around the same age as you are (I think) and I'm hoping I'll have the time/energy to have two.
Also, misotiny is genuinely cute.

Lead the way @misoangry!

Yes, because of the video of misotiny as a drunk bear. Lol

I feel weird sometimes about how much I enjoy everyone's kid videos and pictures, but then I remember this and I'm like "Yeah that awesome!"

[WOT?*]

You have a nanny to entertain her when you don't want to. You can afford to buy her friends later if you need to. You like to travel.

That being said, if you're going for a second, do it soon so you're not raising kids for most of your adult life. (DD1s are 10 years apart. Just happened that she had an unplanned and met her keeper-DH that many years later. It's adorable how he dotes on her, but he's a big brother of a baby sister.  And you have a great relationship with your brother so there's that.)
So, probably no unless you can get it done within the year so they can be playmates. Or wait another eight so you can have a little helper. lol.

But maybe yes because Idiocracy.

I'm a fat lot of help here.

[otowngirl]

Has anyone brought up Idiocracy yet?


Do it for humanity, @misoangry.

ETA: Dammit.

[vmars]

Yes, because you make cute babies.

[pugz]

YES

If I wait eight years, I'll be 46.

Not happening.  LOL.
