The glorified dildoes are in full control of the blog this week. Can you just feel the groundswell among the MILF cognoscenti?
I'm told that my heartfelt post--the one about kid 2--contained at least one self-centered, thoughtless observation. I described the upside of further procreation as follows: "A few years of discomfort and zero sex=a real family life with two sing-song voices little voices, another round of ballet recitals" etc. etc.
To which Manhattan Mama was inspired to send this off-blog communication: "... have to add that it's more than a few years of discomfort. It's also more permanent stretch marks, weight gain, scars, needles in the spinal cord, surgery, enormous nursing bras--for some of us."
No dispute on the accuracy of the "zero sex" aspect, btw.
All true on her end of childbirth, I have to say. But it sounds like MM forgot this blog isn't really about her this week.

That said, I do miss intensely the loss of sleep, free time, and general flexibility. Which is why I'd like to go ahead and get Kid #3...uh, underway. To keep the tough years from stretching on and on. As the mama of 2 kids with a 7-year gap between them, I found it hard indeed to go back to baby-tending after being used to the reduced needs of a big girl. I DO want my grown-up life back at some point, but with plenty of kids to enrich it.
