Children as most people assume are really not that diffcult to raise even if you are a FTWM..........is what you expect them to have(materially) and to be ( intelligent) that make it so diffcult for many of us.

yes, it's true. Just be there for them, be supportive, feed n clothe them, enough. Doing too much is sometimes doing bad.

But when my daughter came along, I thought back on all that....Life is really only as tough as what you think it is. When my wife got pregnant again, everyone thought we were mad. Yes, i am mad, sometimes people are so sane, they analyse everything in life and make everything seem much worse....I rather be mad and have more of life. Life is mad anyway

Yes skunk , if you think, plan too much and wait too long ...the baby will never come. :politebleah:

We have 2 kids and want a 3rd and even 4th but hitting a glitch now. So even though we already have 2, we are spending money and going through the emotional rollercoaster of tests and treatments in the hope of having #3 and if we are very lucky maybe #4 may be presented to us at the same time.


Yup, people are looking at us like we are crazy or some may even think greedy. Many cannot understand why we want to have more kids, let alone spend so much money and go through the barrage of tests and treatments to have another.

National duty? Nah, I am not that patriotic. It is a very personal choice, nothing to do with trying to boost the nation's population.

Time to check into IMH.

Skunk , wholeheartedly support you on 3rd, 4th and 5th and envious of you , you still can have any number you want ....Nice Job...Way to Go ...... :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

If at any time you want to park one of your little with me...you know where to find me in kaisu forum....

The more the merry ......Imagine like my mum I have 9 ..hippee ...but production close shop liao leh.....

I had no 2 because I want my no 1 to have a companion especially when my husband and I are no longer in this world. So when I finally conceived no 2, I was so happy that I bought roast duck to do offering to the Sky God...haaaaaaa...very auntie right...


nevertheless nevertheless though the more the merrier..giving birth and having to go thru the labour pain is not an easy task especially to me as both my kids' heads are very big!!! Eldest son got to forcept and the younger daughter gave me hard time pushing and pushing and 2 nurse 'assist' by pushing my stomach...dame painfullllll....

But no regret..so happy to have both of them, 11 yrs old and 8 yrs old. :love:

that is one of the most valid reasons to have at least 2 kids. If u love your child, u won't want him/her to be without kin when both parents have passed on.

Already, i consider myself not a traditional person, but i feel damm damm sad when i see a single child at the parent's coffin at a wake my heart aches at such a sight.

aiming for just 4....because i'm not as tough as my forefathers LOL imagine last time 7 kids + 2 parents inside a 3 room flat.....power LOL

No wonder they're so close even now.

I see the kids now, each one in one room playing their own computer game or watching TV...so sad. I want my 4 kids to fight over the toilet and the single computer/TV muahahaha

Then i can call the neighbours to bet who win....open gambling den.

kidding lah LOL

Frankly..... I am not too sure if they were tough. They probably don't have contraception???? I heard the only contraception they had was breastfeeding. It was 1 yr 1 kid for my grandma who passed away when my youngest uncle was 8 yrs old due to health reasons from having too many kids. I am not sure if I want to be in the same position as our forefathers.

MMM:

It will be more or less the same for me too....my religion does not allow artificial contraception....the \"natural\" methods are not foolproof....my wife got pregnant while breastfeeding.

Skunk,

I share your exact sentiment. I feel sad sometimes because I have only my DS. And that too I got him after much difficulty.

And I suspect he is going to end up being an only child. Sometimes, one just cannot fight with nature

No, I don't want to have kids cuz of gahmen. Its more than that. I have seen parents with 3 or more kids on outings ... they seem to have so much fun banterng with each other etc... (I choose to focus on the positive aspects). I never thought I'd say this cuz I didn't have a great childhood at home. But having my DS has changed my life so much .... I enjoy motherhood - tremendously. I enjoyed my pregnancy too. And I would love to have 2 or 3 more ... if God willing
