I am always glad I wanted to have *** and got careless and had my kids 
young - because I would never be able to tolerate them now. I mean, it's 
true I would probably be a better parent now - knowledge and skill wise,
and 
I might even be able to "teach them stuff" - but there's no way they would

survive infancy for that to happen - I think that I would be one of those 
mothers led away in handcuffs after microwaving their young "because I
just 
couldn't make it stop crying".

Damn - I sure am crotchety. I don't enjoy children, golf *or* NASCAR.
