This is just the way life is. You can't have everything you want. Be grateful you have what you do have. Consider yourself lucky you haven't been surprised with a pregancy. Consider yourself lucky that you have the luxury of deciding when to have children. Now you know why guys keep secrets. Suck it up. What's wrong with WalMart? Everyone has to sacrifice. You have to give up something in order to get something better in return. It'll make your wife happy. No, it's not perfect. It'll never be perfect. You'll always want more. There will always be a reason to wait a little bit longer. Everyone else manages, you will too. Be grateful that your wife doesn't have to work. Golf is fun. Think of how cute they'll be. You can still take pictures. Once you have them, you'll realize that nothing else matters. Dallas is a great place to raise children. I like Starbucks. So you'll move closer to work, big deal. It sounds like a good job to me. You can always move if you want to, just find another job. I know! Get a transfer! You should find a church. Now you can trick-or-treat again! A lot of fathers don't get to see their children much. Someone has to pay the bills. You're making this harder than it is. I didn't have my grandparents growing up either. Jess will take care of the kids.

    I had a terrible drunk night last Saturday which involved me telling a complete stranger that I'm jealous because everyone gets to have babies except for me. She (who is with child with my friend's baby) asked, "Oh. Have you guys been trying for a while?" No. We just decided to wait. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't get pretty damn frustrating when other people get to start living the dream that you have to wait for. Especially when it seems like its everywhere you look. My friend C is due April. T is due November. H is due December. N is due November. And most of the others all have kids already. It's like I'm a fat person on a diet and suddenly a Krispy Kreme truck explodes in front of you.

    Waiting for shit sucks.

    it's good to have dreams, yes.... but if you spend all your time stressing and complaining about them not coming true? you're in for a miserable rest of your life.

    a lot of kids are raised with a lot less and they come out fine. not having everything handed to you on a silver platter builds character. think of the people you know who have had everything handed to them since birth. what do you think of those people? do you have respect for their accomplishments?

    for someone who seems to have such a charmed life, you really wallow a lot in what you percieve as the least bit negative. snap out of it, dude. i'm 28 and my husband just left. you know what? that's fucking life! i have to get over it. at least your dreams are still within reach. maybe you can even get close to them, which is a lot more than some people get. if you want a baby, have one. it seems you're in a better position than most people i know who have them. nobody's life is perfect, nor will it ever be.

    Dallas sucks to raise a kid and Starbucks isn't all that great.


    You've had a dream and now you feel as if it's gone. I think a little grieving time is deserved as long as you don't lose yourself in it. There are people around you that will help you through that and then be there on the other side.
  • Dreams are the hopes which carry us through the days. They give us something to look forward to.
    No matter how 'fanciful' it may seem or petty to other people. They are your dreams, your desires, your hopes that get you through. :)
