Truthfully...I don't know that
anyone is ever
really ready to be a parent. But, as far as
wanting to be a parent...yeah, that's key. This isn't like deciding that you might like to be an SUV owner. This is, for all intents and purposes...permanent. If you don't like the fuel economy, color, performance or if you
really wanted a "stick shift"...you can't trade it in. It's still yours. Always. I know I state the blatantly obvious, but there it is.
Y'know...from experience, I'll tell you...there's nothing so euphoric as the pedestal that a child places it's parent upon. Likewise...there's no hurt worse than when that pedestal colapses around 10 years after it was first erected. Such has been parenthood, I suppose, since the Neolithic.
It's a big decision. One that I know that the two of you will make with the utmost responsibility. I can't imagine a more intelligent, and better looking, offspring than a Lurkbastid baby. Well, save my own first and second ammendments, of course.
