[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is terribly selfish to do to your kids and husband. It will totally change family life- mom now has to hang back with the baby while the big kids do fun stuff. [b]The household revolves around naps again.[/b] The youngest will effectively grow up like an only child and he left alone with old parents when the older ones go off to college in a few years.

You don't get to be a mom of young kids forever. They grow up and leave, that's life. You can't delay the inevitable by just forcing another baby into the situation. The time has passed. Enjoy your family for what it is now. [/quote]

this is one of the stupidest reasons not to have (another) child. i had two kids and at no point did my life "revolved around naps". never, ever. babies napped wherever we happened to be at the time.[/quote]

Cool for you. My kids lost their minds if they didn't nap and have never been car or stroller nappers. [/quote]

I don't believe you. I think people are inventing this stuff. [/quote]

Lmao!! You are a weirdo. People don't have to be inventing experiences just because you did not have them. How myopic can you be. [/quote]

Because I have seen people blame 'naps' and 'sugar' for everything for no reason except for holding this weird superstition.. It's a distinctly American thing.[/quote]

Nobody said anything about sugar, dork. Kids do nap. Mine were too curious about what was going on around them to nap in a stroller or car. So if I didn't nap them in their beds, they didn't nap. [/quote]

oh, too curious about the world LOL. like home is not interesting.

newsflash: your kids are not special and not particularly curious. you just embraced the napping superstition.[/quote]

You're right. I and every other parent who experiences it made up the fact our kids could not settle and close their eyes to sleep in crowded loud places. Your kids are the Ur Kids, the only true kids, by whom all others' development and personalities should be measured. [/quote]

nope, it's only that I have experienced other culture where napping myth is not so widespread. [/quote]
