I agree with this.  Some people say they can't remember life without kids- I can.  It was a nice life too! Rolling out of bed at 10.30, the biggest decision of the day was where to go to eat for lunch, the trips we could take b/c we had both leave AND money, the freedom to do what you wanted- if you didn't feel like eating, no worries! Sigh...

But, having had them now, I could not imagine life without them and while parenting isn't all unicorns farting rainbows and everyone holding hands singing Kumbaya, it's fun and loving and chaotic.

I will say that for us personally, having two has been a lot harder than just one. If we'd stayed at just one, we'd have much more of a DINK lifestyle that we do now.[/quote]

I am the 10:24 poster above, and this is exactly what I was trying to say, but couldn't get out very clearly.  I totally agree with this - 100%.  I think many of my friends feel the exact same way - well said![/quote]
