Re: What brought you joy today?
My baby snuggled up in bed with me this morning. She asked me when my sister, who is 26, is going to have babies. I answered: when she's older. "But Mummy, she's perfect now"  |

Because they may lack a listening ear. You'd be amazed at how common that is in Western society. |
You think it's only limited to Western Society? |

Mostly, but not exclusively. Eastern cultures do not stress the idea that the individual is responsible for everything and has to solve his / her problems on their own.

I guess I wrote my post in an unfeeling manner and I didn't mean it that way at all! The reason I said "why bother asking" is because where I work I happen to LOVE the Company and it bothers me when people constantly complain about it. I'm always there if someone wants to confide in me about a personal problem, but when it's just b1tching about the Company, I just don't listen to it! I feel it would be disloyal to the Company who does SO much for it's employees, one of THE best Employers around I feel! |

Yes they would! They both want kids but prefer to wait, she is quite broody though and he gets quite anxious when babies are mentioned.
More joyful kids: I was nose to nose with my older daughter and told her I could see my reflection in her eyes. "That's because you're always inside me Mummy" |
