We're planning No.2 but I have weird feelings about it.
I've never experienced love like this before, with Amber, it's incredibly different to any other relationship I have and incredibly strong, she has melted me. I'm struggling with the thoughts of how to spread that.
I know obviously I'll understand it all if another comes along but I can't help feeling anxieties over it, like, will it (the love) have the same intensity as it does now, and if it doesn't will I be able to handle the guilt?
If you do come across some reading material on the subject Hitch give us a whistle.
Those of us with siblings realise our parents had favorites, the ones they wanted to spend more time with and the ones who were annoying shits. Thats life, as long as they don't come straight out and tell you to your face they have done a decent job.
NARA, DAFA & AFAR organise 'open rescue' of 9 lobsters from 'Ka Shing' restaurant on Wicklow Street, Dublin 2. All lobsters were safely released in Clontarf ...
I missed this conversation because I was in bed at 8:30 last night due to exhaustion!

Have been minding my daughter alone as the wife is temporarily returned to the glorious-motherland-that-would-never-invade-another-country-unless-it-was-to-help-them-achieve-freedom. Monday week.
Really going to miss these stretches of individual time with her when kid2 arrives. The daughter is just so lovely to be around. I know kid2 will be amazing, but its a huge change. A lovely change obv, and will probably be posting the same message about the two of them in a few years. I guess there's something you can read on getting ready for two kids and how to handle that emotionally etc?
It's a good point. Just as my daughter was entering that phase my son was born and I reverted to the perma-frazzled stressed out haze that having a small baby brings. I feel bad for her that my capacity for naming the Disney princesses is limited, but hopefully when the young fella exits the slug stage I'll be better. I suspect the arguments when they won't get dressed are a lot easier when you're not already on the edge.
Something to be aware of for you.
When Number 2 child arrives there will be more opportunity for quality time with each of them...divide and conquer
I'm surprised by some of the negative feelings people here have about minding small kids. IMO they are by far the best years, enjoy them they fly by.
Define small. Babies are the worst. My son is 14 months and all he does is whinge. 6 am to 8 pm just whining and leaning on my leg when I'm eating with his hand out. I literally cannot see any redeeming characteristics in babies. Yea sure they smile, but so do the other 7 billion people in the world.

I felt a bit bad for her when no. 2 was on the way, but there's no time after that. It all works itself out. That said, you like babies so who knows, ya weirdo!
Do people not massively miss freedom? I was sitting at home watching Khan Academy videos to stop the brain rot on Saturday morning while they were systematically destroying the house thinking, "I could be leaving a tidy house to play golf now."
That might just be down to having the two of them close together I suppose. Was much easier when there was just one.

X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!

You just need to redefine 'freedom' and then make the effort to grab as much of it as humanly possible. I used to laugh at people who talked about having 'me time'; now I realise they were just ahead of my particular curve.

Got up at 7.30 with the sun to put out the bins, then climbed back into bed (thank god for blackout curtains) and woke up naturally at 11. Just finishing off breakfast and coffee while browsing the forum.
You all should have followed my path, 22 year olds are amazingly self-sufficent...most of the time

I didn't have a party m8. We are still gr8 m8s. No need for "inverted commas". You would definitely be in the top 50 people I would invite to a birthday party.
We can celebrate the yes vote on the 22nd. I hear they are planning a serious Mardi Gras type thing on Capel St if it passes. Should be good craic.

Got up at 7am, dropped kid to creche at 7:45am, grabbed sandwich amusingly called 'Don't Go Bacon My Heart', asleep again by 8:30am until midday. Might go for a dip in the Verukuvitz.
