My mother smoked and drank while she was pregnant, not to excess on either count. I’m guessing that explains my stunted growth. But, I’m still optimistic about a growth spurt.
dibs, they would love you down there as the pasty whities there tend to be ginormous, we are models. Every bar has either $1 or $2 beers. Can’t wait to have some shiner boch.
“I sometimes wonder if parents feel the need to say that having kids is the best thing ever just so they don’t sound like jerks. Also, only once have I met a mother that admitted to loving one child more than the other.”
Good point. I’m actually surprised at how happy I am to have been a parent, but it’s pretty obvious that not all parents feel that way.
I’ve just got the one kid, so I can honestly say she’s my favorite. But there no WAY that parents of multiple kids don’t have favorites. It’s just not considered appropriate to mention it.
“If ENY was here, I’m certain he would offer to give Rob $2.50 to shut up until payday.”
Not likely.
I definitely think some people regret having kids, and I believe I’ve known one or two.
While I agree it is the greatest thing that can ever happen to a person (based on my experience), if you’re not ready or unsure about it or ill-suited to be a parent, it can be a complete disaster.

rob, not really it’s what people did on 60s. She wasn’t falling down drunk, just partaking in a daily ritual. Effects of drugs is terrible on newborns, all the crack babies from the 80/90s are having all sorts of issues.
Actually the effect of alcohol on fetuses is much worse and longlasting than the effect of drugs including crack.
Statistically of course. You don’t have the facial features of fetal alcohol syndrome!
Smoking tends to produce lower-birth-weight babies and early labor/prematurity.
