It was good to the see the news of the latest arrival at the Wibsite. Being born at 3:28 a.m. shows that she'll be as conventional as her mother :-)
People in work saw me grinning when I received the text from FW notifying me of the arrival. They asked if I was not broodie for kids. Me? I'm bloke!!! I only get broodie for my Alfa, my cats, rugby, football, alcohol, music, films and books. Oh, and FW when she's away.
Children have never been on my agenda. 2 grown up children in the house are enough for me. I am not built to be a parent. I lack the patience to cope and don't have the temperament required. I realised this at an early age and have never changed.
If kids went from birth straight to teens then I think that I might be able to cope. I found it much better when you deal with them as teens/adults. They are far more interesting, engaging and fun/
Don't get me wrong, I love my nephews like nothing else but am only to happy to give them back. It's best for them and me. I can cope with children in small, manageable doses.
Do I get concerned about not having a new generation following me? Not really. I have 2 nephews who may not share the name but they share the genes.
So I have no hankering for ones of my own but wish those well who have them.
