A dream life. From which I wake up screaming.

Grief, I've only one kid and was pleased as heck when she could pick up a duster.
Who could afford six kids?

I have no kids, and I'm fine with that for the next few years- I'll reevaluate my choice as needed, but I'm very happy as it is! I love kids- but other people's kids

OPK's (other people's kids) are always great and on best behaviour, but when you take the decision to spawn you'll know that no one's baby is as beautiful as yours. No ones!
In the mean time, yea to your freedom!

I'm know everyone thinks their own children are tops- and I'm sure I'll be no different. We shall see!

You're a guy. You must be.
When it comes to a large family it really is each to their own, as both parents experience child rearing in different ways.....
...... The fuss of child birth, vaginal tearing (not to mention being stitched up afterwards, usually by a student nurse - would you allow a Learner near your genitals with a large needle and thread?), post-natal depression, no sleep for four weeks straight bc the baby has coup, fatuous and condesending health care workers, knowing that between feeds you need to exercise your arse off if you ever want to climb into a swim suit again.... Oh, and that feeling of losing something of yourself....
Yeah, a woman whose breasts leak like an ageing hotwater bottle is a beautiful sight. Each to their own.
My 5 yo child is a blonde haired, blue eyed replica of her daddy. And I cannot say that it is not special, at the end of the day, to see her launch herself at daddy when he comes home from work. I understand your point of view, but you need to understand the flip-side of your dream.

Achh, I'm actually considering doing it all again at the grand age of 39. The little bleeders are addictive.
When you feel you are ready that's all you need. A relaxed attitude is probably the best view to survey such a life change.

Hush. You're not greedy.
And I'm not anti-marriage nor anti-children. But why do you think in the last ten years women are leaving it later and later in life to enter into marriage or start families?
EDIT: We want the whole package too.

I too would like the whole package, though I can't have children of my own. I'd settle for someone that just loved me for me and was satisfied with small town living. If (adopted) children were in the picture later, I'd be all for that, as well.

That's cheating.
I get stuck babysitting for my sister while still in college.
I have to babysit for free.
I heard that!
I'm a nurse, I am also male, you should try working in a maternity unit with kids screaming or better yet work in a Pediatrics unit, the women even scream when the birth canal is 30 times the normal size.

That's my lot. 6? You can keep 'em.......

Kitten, I understand all too well that some women can be... Freakin' bitches on wheels when the pain starts. All I wanted was a home birth, but the husband paniced. To placate him I put up with the indignity of being driven to hospital to give birth.
Thankfully, I was there for less than two hours and my family made it in time to be present for the birth. The nurse was full of tut and shrive, calling it 'far too mediterranean' for so many female family members to be present at a birth.
I never once asked for or needed help from the medical professionals. They tried to foist all kinds of monitoring equipment on me. As all I wanted was to walk through the contractions. I refused everything that would tie me to a bed as nonsense.
Next time (fingers crossed for such a chance) I'm hiring a private midwife and not budging from my bedroom.
Would a midhusband do?
