    My sympathetic family....

    After only 2 weeks off at home I have to go to work again for a 5 week trip this weekend.... I am negotiating to reduce my contract days just now and asked the missus "Do you think it is better if I work more days or I am home more days?"...

    She told me that it is better if I work more days because that means more money....

    I broke the news to my 4 year old daughter that I have to go back to work soon and her first reply was "Are you going to take your laptop with you?... I don't want you to take your laptop"...

    It is nice to have a loving family to return to.

    I can top that.

    Just after my uncle died (young) and we were on the way to his funeral, his youngest piped up "Will daddy's credit cards still work?"

    She was about 6

    Just practical thinking and honesty really isn't it?... Those qualities are admirable in such a young age.

    So what is your advice to single guys who are dating girls that want kids? Fuck it?

    People say not having kids is selfish. I'd say the kids themselves are the kunts that are selfish. Once a bitch has her offspring, you lose the realm of attention.

    Looks like I'll have to ditch my girl cuz she wants kids.

    Don't your kids just move away and forget about you? I'm in a different province then my parents. I go back once a year for X mass and thats it.

    Seems like A lot of stress goes along with them. They aren't for everyone..

    My thai date said we don't have to worry about that until we are married. Lol yeah, let's get married and then sort out the deal breakers. She would be poking holes in every condom she sees to no avail. Then she would probably go to the bar and find a guy that looks like me to do the job. Or maybe a sperms bank.

    "You knocked me up " Umm no that's impossible.
