You will\u00a0LOVE\u00a0having another kid! It\u2019s the best. I mean look at that little face. Your son would have a sibling. Come on, you are not too old. You are what? Like 35? How could you say no to those chubby cheeks? Honestly, I don\u2019t even know how you\u2019ve waited this long. Oh, don\u2019t worry about that. It\u2019s just a small stovetop fire, but Chris can put it out. When you\u2019re a mom of two these kind of things happen all the time and I\u2019ve become a much more patient person because of it. God, where is Chris.\u00a0CHRIS! Can you get down here and put out the fire, please?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyways as I was saying, kids are a freaking miracle. Are you going to freeze your eggs? You really should if you\u2019re still waiting for the \u201cright one\u201d or whatever. You are also not getting younger. Oh will you look at that, the fire spread to the hand towel.\u00a0CHRIS THOSE\u00a0FLAMES\u00a0AREN\u2019T\u00a0GOING\u00a0TO\u00a0PUT\u00a0THEMSELVES\u00a0OUT! Honestly, you can\u2019t get him to do anything. But then if I do it it\u2019s like, I\u2019m doing everything, you know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What were we talking about again? Oh, right. Babies! They make you so happy\u2014especially two. We even think about having a third one. You might think you\u2019re happy right now, but you\u2019re not. I mean look at my baby, do you really want to miss out on all that joy? Also, really do think about your son. He would love a sibling. He is now 11, no? Perfect age gap. He can take the baby to the playground whenever he takes Minecraft<\/em> gaming breaks on his computer. I bet your son would play a lot less on the computer and spend more time with his sibling or play outdoors to get fresh air. He would love to have a little brother or sister \u2013 one of the only two possible biological genders there are. I literally have no regrets, and I\u2019ve never felt like I\u2019ve had my life so figured out. Ugh, now the carpet\u2019s burning. No, don\u2019t worry. Our therapist said I need to wait for Chris to be his own solution. But then if I yell at him it\u2019s like,\u00a0I\u2019m<\/em>\u00a0the bad guy. I mean, really. Come on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess I just don\u2019t understand why you\u2019ve waited so long with a second one? Your biological clock is ticking away, you know. Every year you wait is a year you miss out on life\u2019s biggest, most beautiful\u2026 one second.\u00a0CHRIS! YOU\u2019VE\u00a0BEEN\u00a0IN\u00a0THE\u00a0BATHROOM\u00a0FOR\u00a0OVER\u00a0A\u00a0FUCKING\u00a0HOUR!\u00a0GET\u00a0DOWNHERE\u00a0NOW! It\u2019s like, is he really going to spend an hour in there just so he can get out of doing one thing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, like I was saying, sure it\u2019s tough sometimes but so is everything\u2026 that\u2019s\u2026 [cough]\u2026 [cough] \u2026worth it. Wow, it is smokey in here.\u00a0CHRIS!\u00a0GET\u00a0YOUR\u00a0ASS\u00a0DOWN\u00a0HERE\u00a0AND\u2026 [cough] \u2026[cough]\n\n\n\n

Ah, so much better outside in the fresh air, isn\u2019t it? Little Harry loves the outdoors. I keep telling everyone that one day he\u2019s going to be a famous mountain climber or one of those army drill sergeants. I guess he\u2019s going to love it even more now that we\u2019ll be sleeping in our backyard in a tent \u2014 just until Chris gets around to calling the fire department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now as I was saying, you need to decide what you want. Do you want stability and a beautiful family, or do you want to have your freedom back with only one child and then, when he moves out to study abroad, and you will pay for all this, be alone for eternity? Sure some might argue that marriage is an outdated institution, but honestly I couldn\u2019t be more happy with my life and \u2014 oh would you look at that, Chris has been engulfed in flames. Well, at least he died doing what he loved most, which is doing nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s talk about when you\u2019re going to get married again, because you really need to do that sooner than later, you know. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
