There...wow, i'm just now reading this comment. There was a time this would have made me angry, but it just made me laugh. I was definately whining a bit on these posts. We didn't plan this third pregnancy (really thought that at 39 with a 12 and 8 y/o) We want to downsize, but couldn't find buyer. We did get down to 1 dog. We had 9 and a grooming/breeding business when we had to twins, so 3was very downsized and we closed the business. It's funny how someone over the internet who doesn't know you, has only read a few postings can be so judegmental. of course this is almost 2 years later, so maybe life has woken him up...ps, I started this blog mostly to keep our friends far away updated on my life. hope this post at least made this guy feel better about his own situationJodi Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646865502860698468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720303028570089459.post-37150004558323097172010-09-15T23:49:08.202-07:002010-09-15T23:49:08.202-07:00Seems unnecessary to have 3 dogs and 7 acres. Soun...Seems unnecessary to have 3 dogs and 7 acres. Sounds like you are making more work for yourself.<br />If that's the case... harden up Princess! <br />You can make it as easy or as hard as you want it to be.<br />When I had my first born (twins) it was tough.<br />The types of twins they were was very rare. So rare in fact that they were one step away from being conjoined.<br />My wife had to have 4 - 5 scans a week (travelling 1.5 hours each way on top of working full time)to make sure everything was okay as these type of twins have a very high death rate.<br />They were born 9 weeks premature.<br />They stayed in hospital for 6 or so weeks in Sydney (we live on the Central Coast 1 1/2 hours drive away).<br />There was nothing normal about the pregnancy or the birth or the aftermath. We have no idea what normal is so we can't compare.<br />We have no family to help, no friends that can help us. We did it all alone and by ourselves.<br />We still are and it is really tough but hey, at least I get a rest when my eyes are closed. I have it much better than my wife. She never complains though. Not once. Maybe it has something to do with being a hardened coloured South African from the wrong side of Johannesburg. I don't know. <br />We had no choice. You have.<br />Get rid of the dogs and downsize your property for starters. Cut down your work hours if you can't cope. Maybe you should have thought about the consequences of having a third pregnancy before you got knocked up?<br />Trust me, nobody is interested in a whinger that has made their life difficult through their own bad judgement and terrible decisions.Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590481737577849456noreply@blogger.com
