Very enjoyable and reassuring. When I compare my life, with its miniscule income, to the lives of those who have tons more money, or tons of kids, but less time and less choice, I realize I couldn't be happier.

I also liked it very much. Then I started reading the comments. We could make it only to #43 before the bingo card was needed. It was filled like a cover-all game by the time I finished reading them all. I couldn't believe that so many people seemed to take this article as an excuse to bash the writer and question his choices. I found that ironic given the subject of the piece.

Best kid description ever:
"I have never even idly thought for a single passing second that it might make my life nicer to have a small, rude, incontinent person follow me around screaming and making me buy them stuff for the rest of my life."

HA! That is hilarious!!!
One of the comments references this site:

If you read the comments on the pandalous site - near to the bottom is one of a woman who regrets having kids. It's interesting - speaking what most people would be afraid to, I think.

Boy, that's a great site. I may join it.

I dare someone here to put the quote about a small, rude, incontinent person as their Facebook status for a day. I'd like to see that!!!!

I'd do it if I had Facebook, but everyone knows I'm militantly CF and no one would comment.
