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"
