She finally got the idea and had our daugter and even though her mom and I aren't toghther anymore she will always be special to me in her own way just like each and every one of them! So it seems like a huge burden to raise one more but its a gift to be able to have kids from God and we should all thank Him for that gift. I am sure she will and is a great mom and will continue to do so forever!

So given that you're learning to be a truck driver... how much of the 24/7 burden do you bear for your 6?

My wife and I both were in previous marriages and now we have 8 children and 12 grandchildren. The grand children all come from her 3 boys who are older then my kids and several were aquired through mergers and aquisitions (divorced kids marrying spouses with kids, etc.)

Anyway, I consider all of them my kids and grandkids 100%.

My 5 were born in a 6 year span; the last 2 were only 13 months apart. We had a cloth diaper service as disposables were a new thing and rather expensive. At one point we had the younger 3 in diapers... that's a lot of the damn things and I often wish I had owned stock in that company!

2nd that question!
(BTW, all 3 of us kids were "accidents" to our parents. We have always known that, and have never been bothered by it. They don't love us any less. My point is, YTF would it ever matter if you're an "accident" or not? If you have a child by "accident" and can't love them the same as a "planned" baby, then fuck you. You have no business having any children. I'm disturbed you even make the distinction.)


Cloud- hope you're family is doin well. Best of luck to all. My mom does not wish for any grandkids as of yet, if ever. She's had it tough watching the burden my aunt has with 5, 3 of which she is raising. Not that I'm saying your children are goin to burden you with their kids.
