"95% of it sounds like a never-ending nightmare - the pregnancy itself, the constant sleepless/low sleep nights, the constant crying, cleaning up vomit and shìt several times a day, not being able to do anything with friends, the cost - all for the odd moment of happiness. It seems like a pretty terrible trade-off." All down to what you want out of life, while the above is all true, in the great scheme of things that period is over in a flash...if you only have one kid anyway. As far as cleaning up the vomit & s**t....just cut the drinking down a bit.
Judging by some of the folk I've met, it's a shame they never got into geography more! And don't get me started on English. And yes, I know, that baby was compulsory.
