We love our sons and enjoyed them while they were growing up, but the time comes for them to move on and the empty nest is a pure delight. Now we are expecting our first grandbaby, a girl, and they are naming her Magnolia and calling her Maggi. Trouble is, they (our son and daughter-in-law) live in Colorado and we live in Alabama. Not much opportunity for spoilage there.Gardenbuzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074363515486485823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-46913167966698204892008-07-03T00:41:00.000-05:002008-07-03T00:41:00.000-05:00Leelu:Um, you've had the same problem with certain...Leelu:<BR/>Um, you've had the same problem with certain Anime songs, if I recall correctly. But what you said about kids eating bugs is a point taken. I never considered that. They also pick up all kinds of things off the floor and eat them, so they offer the same vacuum services my dog does. Okay, maybe they have some redeemable qualities, but eight is still the scariest thing I've seen. And, ahem, I love your kid too.<BR/><BR/>Rachel:<BR/>Yeah, you keep blaming that kid. He better make that up to her one day! What's funny is that even now, at 35 years old, when one of my friends announces they're pregnant, I have that sinking feeling like "Oh shit! What are you going to do with it? Do you need me to drive you to a clinic?" Uh-huh. And I would. As for the meerkats, are you CRAZY! I cry at the pictures on Cute Overload. I cannot watch meerkats getting killed by snakes and babies lost in the desert! AHHH!<BR/><BR/>Mackenzie:<BR/>You watch? WILLINGLY? You're so brave! You're so strong! You should start a support group! I wouldn't go, because I'm happy fearing and avoiding children, but you should still do it.<BR/><BR/>Cat:<BR/>Even the girls who go to school are whiny and nightmarish! Seriously, they're always jealous of the babies, and the babies are always fighting with one another. Some are bossy and controlling! It's like a miniature version of my workplace, only with messy diapers! Avoid it at all costs, m'dear! ALL COSTS!<BR/><BR/>Kate P:<BR/>A litter, indeed! Can you imagine that pregnancy?! Hold on...I'm feeling faint.<BR/>(long pause)<BR/>Okay, I'm better. I guess I haven't seen enough to know that Kate berates Jon, but she does freak out a lot, and he seems only marginally interested in the whole family thing. Oh, and they seem like they have unlimited funds with which to raise this ungodly family, and that also makes it nightmarish to me because someone might try to have this many kids, thinking if Kate can do it, so can she, and then you have to realize that the one baby you can't afford now costs eight times as much. OMG, I have to stop thinking about this. It's making me hyperventilate.Happy Villainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276030867866594194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-88303011602437843462008-07-01T21:04:00.000-05:002008-07-01T21:04:00.000-05:00My mom loves this show, but she's the oldest of 7....My mom loves this show, but she's the oldest of 7. Six at once--people weren't meant to have "litters" IMO. Much as I'd like to have kids of my own.<BR/><BR/>And it really bugs me that Kate berates Jon on national TV.Kate Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555660993363611776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-681832615967211342008-07-01T19:05:00.000-05:002008-07-01T19:05:00.000-05:00I'm with leelu 100% here.

I share your feelings towards kids and this show just blows my mind. And yet I keep watching... I think just to remind myself that I never, ever want kids. Ever.

Every so often I still feel a little resentment towards my nephew, who's mother went insane and so I played mommy for a summer to a year-old. He's cute and exceptionally good for a baby, but still!<BR/>And to have EIGHT of them at once??<BR/>I know that TV always shows the worst of the household, that's their job, but that's gotta be bad.<BR/>Why don't you just want that meerkat show and avoid the other channel?Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574025785063224560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-40348466643111048222008-07-01T07:57:00.000-05:002008-07-01T07:57:00.000-05:00Hey, spiders can be cute and fuzzy!

I love my kid. :DLeeluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235711052967005887noreply@blogger.com
