Official Articulated Thoughts Good News Thread

I was going to say, I never said all that. I just said we tried.

It's too much work. And I'm lazy. My favorite thing to do is sit. Add calisthenics to that? I'm out. Pass.

Lol, it is funny though after a certain amount of time together, it has become less of a priority for us. That's not to say that we don't crack cheeks. But it's just not as important to us as it was when we were 21, and vag was almost quite literally the only thing on my mind.

This took a turn, huh? 😆

There's a give and take with everything. I came home tonight with Chinese food and beer and the girls are watching the Lindsay Lohan "new classic" Falling for Christmas.
 
I never wanted kids, either. My wife has always been open to it (FWIW, I'm like 98% no, while she's like 75% no). She has no interest in pregnancy, which basically means adoption or bust. (The ethics of adoption are their own can of worms.) We had an intense conversation about it right before we got married last year. It's one of those memories that will probably stick with me until I die.

Part of me reads a story from Damien or yojoe and thinks, "Hey, that might be nice." Then again, a month ago, we visited our friends who recently had their second kid. Their four-year-old was as wild as we've seen him, and it only got worse when some neighbor kids came over for an impromptu play date. Nothing says "birth control" like trying to maintain a conversation while three four-year-olds shriek, run, and climb all over you.
 
Talking with my brother at the family holiday pre-party tonight (yes, my family is so into Christmas we have a huge cousins and everyone else PRE-Christmas party a few weeks early). His daughter is a little over a year old. She's driving him nuts.

"Is she okay?"
"No. SHE'S EXACTLY LIKE ME. THAT"s THE PROBLEM."

I cannot WAIT to watch my baby brother navigate fatherhood. He's a great dad but also if your kid has all of your most antagonistic qualities...
