I’m now 19 and experiencing being a dad. I must say although it feels good it’s still hard. I knew it wouldn’t be easy but to be honest, the hard part is having to balance time. My daughter is great and makes managing her never dreadful. -Teen dad

This is all so real to me. I’m 21 and my boyfriend just turned 19 and I am now 4 months pregnant. I was so angry that I fell pregnant and was seriously considering what most young women of today would normally do if they didn’t want a kid so soon, but there you have my boyfriend with the biggest grin I had ever seen on him in the 3 years we’ve been dating.

I thought, “you know what, this morning sickness and 24-hour sleeping is so depressing that if I ever want a child in the future, I’ll just have this one and never have to go through this again.” Three months later, and all those horrible early pregnancy symptoms gone, I cannot imagine my future without my unborn baby. It’s so bad that we’re already thinking of baby number 2!!

All those ‘myths’ are made up by people who have never had kids because they don’t understand. I was once one of them. But now, when my baby is born, it’s my mission to enjoy life tonnes more and take advantage of all the babysitting being offered!

Peter, you are absolutely right. You’ll never know what you’ll get till you have it.

I couldn’t agree with you more! My husband and I took our daughter with us to the market when she was only 3 weeks old and our 3 kids have lived and traveled with us far and wide and had a most excellent time.

This is one of those rare posts I love to read. Well done, Peter.

At a time when Firefox 3 is in its fifth beta, we can appreciate Maybeck’ s idea of starting off the nation’ s capital with Canberra 0. 1. I’ m not too sure how well these ideas apply to architecture, and I’ m not sorry that the Great Walter Burley Griffin won the comp (only to descend into an all too typical Aussie Schemozzle). But Maybeck’ s ideas certainly apply in lots of other areas. When the new tax system was put in place in the year 2000 it was all designed up to be the perfect system. It had a…
