Time for what? Time to murder one if it might be too inconvenient. Do these self absorbed yuppies realize that children are human beings, not pets?
Had time to get ready perhaps? We found out we were expecting twins nine weeks into our second pregnancy, and we needed all nine months to prepare ourselves mentally. Unfortunately we only had 7.5 months, and it took us years to catch up.
One book we read included the statement that the occurrence of multiples takes off astronomically at the age of 35, perhaps showing Mother Nature has a sense of urgency, but it also drops again at 41 - showing she also has a sense of humor.
We would never wish twins on even our worst enemies, but we would never chose to be withour ours - we are blessed to have such a gift.
