After living together for more than a decade my partner informed me that she was going to have kids with or without me, so I agreed. My general position was that life was so awful that I wanted nothing to do with the creation of any more of it. 20 years later I still feel a bit like that, although it is certainly true that our life here is much better than my family of origin.
I don't know where my wife would be without having kids though. It's something she says a lot: "At least I'm glad I had a couple of kids".We also have a cat. We call her 'the cat' because she turned up here more than a year ago (or is it two?) and in all that time I have never touched her (she won't let anyone near her), nor has anyone else much. Something happened to the cat. Maybe someone tried to kill her or threw boiling water over her before she got here.
What you need Sid is money, isn't it?
Then you could just have a couple of kids, if that is what you want.
