The thing is - we've got to rely on a woman's word for this. And they are notorious for overacting when it comes to a bit of pain.

Yeah - smarts a little - but it doesn't hurt that much and once you've pulled it out with the pliers* it doesn't hurt at all.

* a tool found in a man's garage or shed (or sometimes in the kitchen to deliberately annoy the wife).

PS: I don't need a magnifying glass it's big enough to see.

Well aware of what pliers are - did you need a magnifying glass?????

I've just seen this thread....

I am 31 and the OH is 33 and we currently have no children. I am not sure if all is in working order after having 2 ovarian surgeries when younger but I do plan to have children and hope to start trying in 2007/2008.

I have always wanted children and the thought of not having them makes me very sad. I worship my niece and I know I shall worship my nephew who I have yet to meet. (roll on Nov)

I respect people's decisions - some people want children, others do not. Each to their own.

Sorry folks, not read most of this thread, just crashing in

Well just came home from a concert where my youngest (age 7), belted out 'The Hills are Alive with the sound of music', (solo) and I cried. Of course, i think about what my life would have been like without me kids , i would have alot more ££s, but my god , I would have missed out on how i feel tonight ,

Children/No Children. This is a subject you get
commented on if you want too or not.

We have one son and often (although it is getting
less now, no he is 5 and I am 37, lost cause I guess )
get asked when the next one is coming. Oh he will
be so lonely all by himself. What are you doing to him.

Before we got our son my in laws used to say when we
went on a holiday. OK, so this year again no grandchildren.
Do you get the picture .

Some people don't want children, some people don't want them
and get them, some people want them and don't get them and
then you have the part who gets them when they want.

It doesn't matter what you do. And being selfish, aren't we all
a bit selfish whatever we choose
