Having And Raising Children Is Doing Something

This Is The Other Thing: We Make The Cost Of Raising Kids Higher Than It Has To Be Just Because We Feel They Need All This Stuff, Like Gadgets, Certain Schools, And Activities That Are Nice But Aren't Really Necessary.

When It Comes To Accepting Emotional Support Or Affection, I'm A Little Guarded And Hardened To That.

I Just Don't Know A Couple That's Been Married More Than Three Years That Doesn't Annoy The Heck Out Of Each Other Every 15 Minutes.

I Had Four C-sections And My Stomach Looked Like The Map Of The World. My Breasts Were Hanging Down To Here From Breastfeeding Those Babies, And My Nipples Were Like Platters. I Wanted To Fit Into The Gowns That I Finally Got To Wear.

Before We Had The Kids, My Husband And I Were Traveling A Lot And Working And Really Enjoying Our Lives And Each Other. We Both Love The Theater And Books And Travel And So We Were Really Having A Lot Of Fun.
