To add to Halfy's list of woes...
tell her she won't be fat for just a year - it'll change her body shape forever. No more wearing little crop tops because now she's got a permanent muffin top - regardless of how much she diets.

Add to that piles, grey hair, temporary loss of sex drive, and perhaps most importantly....

All the while you have a baby with you (and this holds true until they're into double figures at least) you *must* be the adult.

So that means one of you has to remain sober.

One of you has to be sensible.

One of you has to be a good influence.

And one of you can't buy as many shoes.


That said, they are lovely when they're your own and as they get older their toys get to be far more fun - Zoo Tycoon on the PC FTW!
