I have never struggled with my children 😕
I have at times struggled with factors other than my children. But my kids are the greatest kids anyone could ask for. Of all the things in my life having my children has brought me the greatest joy and sense of pride anyone could ever ask for.
As you will soon find out for yourself 🙂

Been around the world and found, that only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And I don't even own a TV

Although this will be the last and final installment! I don't know about you but when it comes to parenting I have always found the more kids there are the easier it is. I find it much more draining at home alone with baby all day while the girls are in school. It's a relief when they come home and all their friends come in to play. They all keep each other amused.
I'm just not sure yet if it's best to have another girl or bring a poor unsuspecting little boy into the mix. 😕

Originally posted by Bad wolfNo. You're right. There are some things not even I can control. 🙁
It's not like you would have a choice. 😕
It's gonna be a long and very anxious wait to find out. So far we have 2 votes for a boy and one vote for a girl. And it all depends on what sister says what to the baby...her vote keeps on changing. 😕
Originally posted by Rene PogelI was not stating anything about Mokko... Someone just used the words stupid people and breeding in one sentence. For all I know the meaning of life is having children and raising them the best way you can. If I look at the drawings of Mokko's daughter (the original topic of this thread), I can only conclude she has a sweet, talented kid and can take credits for that. So I'll join you in applauding her 🙂.

No. You're right. There are some things not even I can control. 🙁

(I think you can do that...)
Originally posted by Rene PogelBefore I became pregnant with my youngest daughter I had just finished a couple years of upgrading and was about to do my university studies. I was hoping to get into the neuroscience program at the Uof A. I had a few other back up options in place as well just in case Now I have my sights on an online course for an embalming certificate. Not quite the same but sometimes we just have to roll with the punches. Besides...school will always be an option and having seen some very amazing people go back and obtain degrees at a later point in life I know there is no such thing as too late.

I think it was watching me go back to school that has given my children the drive they now have. Their report cards came home last Friday and I was completely shocked. These kids never bring home any homework as they always finish it in school and their marks are all honours. My 9 yr old even manage to bring home a 99% in french class. 😀
Originally posted by mokkoI am sure your refridgerator has better stuff on it than mine does. My kid can't draw flys in Summer, much like her dad. 😞
Was just looking through some of the pictures my daughter drew and scanned into her "art" file on the PC. She constantly amazes me with the things she comes up with. She's a huge manga fan and has been drawing manga since she was 6 yrs old. Just in a feel like showing off kind of mom mood.
