I am (almost) 34 & aint got no sprogs........YET

Am getting married in July to my younger woman :hubba: (25) & we've talked about startin a family in a couple of years

I've always said I don't want kids, coz looking after yourself is hard enough (i've always thought) without having young en's to look after too, but i'm coming round now as i get older & wiser (i think :S )

Think the biggest worry is the financial side of things more than any thing? with our lass not working & wanting at least two years at home with baby is a bit frightning :S We'll still have the mortgage, bills etc to pay on just my money :S I do earn a good wage, but we'll probly lose the luxuries like beer, pizza / take aways, mad nights out & beer lol!

It's all just a bit daunting (sp?) But have been told it's worth it

Well i have 3 children, was with my EX hubby from being 15 till i was 28 had our first child when i was 20 all my children were planned and i honestly thought we would be together forever, when i had my 3rd i realised something wasn't right and well he was having it off with someone at work, so he lost me and her i made sure of that and now is a sad lonely git! lol
Being a single mum can be tough but you just have to get on with it for their sakes, my youngest was only 6mths when we split up so it was hard, Anyway i divorced him and screwed him out of what was our lovely home which is now all mine, lol.

i have a 10 yr old boy i was 25 and married when i had him although divorced now i think kids either make or break a relationship for u n u never really understand where ur own parents were coming from when u were growing up until ur own child is. Actually the first time u hear urself say something ur own parents used to say to u i.e pick ur feet up when u walk u actually shudder at those words coming out of ur mouth

the one thing though i swore i would never do with my boy that my mum used to do is wet a tissue in my mouth n wipe dirt on his face with it eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

i've a little lad whos nearly ten but i've not seen him since he was two i wont go into detail but his mums the b*tch from hell !!!!!!!!!!
and i've twin girls who are four this year to my ex we only split about eight months ago after nearly nine years together
i have my girls every weekend and try to see them at least one evenig trough the week i also speak to them on the phone every night before they go to bed
i never intended for things to end up like this but life never goes to plan does it so you just have to make the best out of it although it is better splitting than arguing all the time in front of them
having the trouble i've had with my little lad makes me more determined to be a good dad and i try to spend as much time as poss with them and it is the most rewarding feeling ever
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

i got two kiddies as most of ya know. Dan who nearly 8 and megs who's nearly 4 :love: :love: :love:

Met my ex hubby when i was 17 and I had dan at 21 (bit of a shocker, but best thing in the world) and got married at 24, got preggers with megs on honeymoon, had megs in may when 25, then my hubby left me in aug!

Wouldn't change things at all though, my ex is best dad in the world and has them every weekend so I get the best of both worlds, mum during week and go out at weekends. I know i'm extremey lucky to have this though as many aren't that fortunate.

Life story over.......

APOLOGIES - WAFFLE AHEAD _ WARNING - WAFFLE AHEAD....

I have kids - 2 girls they are my little diamonds and they mean more to me than anything and the bond gets stronger as time
goes on.

My first child - my daughter Jessica was planned, I was only 20 yrs old at the time but i was in love and I was so deep in love
that it was right at the time and the thing that swayed it was when we had a near miss a few weeks b4 and my ex got told
she was pregnant by the doctor which i had to go through that gruelling ordeal of telling everyone of my family and hers (at
17) that we was expecting a baby at the tender age of 20 (that didn't go down well i tell ya) But after I got my head round the
ordeal of that and realigning my future we was told that she wasn't actually pregnant - it was a mistake and she wasn't
pregnant at all. - Imagine after all that upheaval in my head and getting to grips with it - the feeling I was left with was that
of losing a child.

This messup in my head made me crave for a child deep down - My head was already thinkin of makin plans for the child
that wasn't even there. And I think I can speak for my ex aswell - we thought fuck it we really want this to happen - lets go
for it. So we did and it happened and we was FCUKIN HAPPY DAYZ.

But my friends - anyone who has come out of a relationship may share this belief with me...The first year of living with that
person is the MAKE OR BREAK year. Unfortunately for me it was break year - neither of us was feelin it - we had grown up a
lot and changed. Maybe it was because we was young maybe it was because we did not have the intimacy anymore
because the child took priority away from the affection that was there between us before she was born.

The next few years was up and down to foooook - my ex got with someone who i hated (a "reformed" smack head who I
never trusted) he settled down with my ex and had a baby I always said to her my fears and she ignored me. anyways i feell
like im rambling on a bit now but to cut a lifelong story short - He got back on smack and I picked up the pieces and
eventually goit back with my ex missus and tried to give it a go because a) I cared about her and b) I wanted the best for my
kid. c) I couldn't see the other child suffer

This situatoin led to me becoming close with my ex's other child and as the weeks went by i found myself stopping over
more and more because i was buzzing so much off being in that family atmosphere and feeling at peace with everythin.

This feeling wore away soon unfortunately and I found myself back in the position in the relationship with my ex, as I was in
first time round. Which I kicked myself for I though I could fix things but fundamentally It was always gonna be broke that
relationship.

So we broke up again. But by that time I had formed a bond with her other child that would never be broken and to this day
that is the reason why I have 2 kids instead of one. Little Danielle is a little angel to me and always will be for ever. She
calls me Daddy and im more than happy with that.

Since the time whan me and my ex split up i have always been about for my daughters through good times and bad. But if i
am brutally honest I think i went through a bit of a wayward patch where im not happy with the way my priorities were. I
was too buzy raving n dealing with my own shit that i think to some extent i was a bit neglectful of my responsibilities on
occasions.

But speaking now - instead of being a slave to the vibe as I was in that period - Im now more inclined to want to be with my
cherubz more that wanting to be out and about with my mates.

And just to try n explain summat - here goes -
"The love you have for your kids will be the strongest feeling in your life ever and if you deny yourselves of that you deny
yourselves of the strongest love goin."

But if you dont need it and you have got your love anyway and that is magical aswell - basically im being a soppy arse can
you tell or what. I blame Jim Beam me lol

But Im glad Ive had the chance to spill me guts to yas and that. Its been emotional.

Anyway heres a piccie of me and th'kids - weekend just gone.

who the hell bumped ths up. This thread must be two years old. Its a good thread though got people thinking and talking.
Would like to point out that the provocative nature of it was a kinda in joke between me and miss tickle and not meant to cause offence.

That aside though. Don't people think that it should be legal to advertise condoms on national television. It is in just about every other country. It may prevent unwanted (notice I didn't say unplanned) pregnancies.
Although I do find the 'unplanned' posters a tad ironic. What did you think would happen ? lol :p having your fingers crossed isn't 100% effective ;)
I am very happy that the thread did provoke some very touching stories though. Big up to dannster and jaxxy etc and all the ladeez xxx
