Forethought too much?


Philippa wants to plan a little sibling for Mathew!
I’m not sure we should be looking too far forward at all in the current set-up, but Philippa firmly believes this will be sorted sometime this year, and she thinks it’s important to have nice things pencilled in for the future. I can see her point, I suppose, but it just feels a bit odd to me. I don’t see how we can look to expand our family when so many other people are worrying about losing members of theirs. But maybe that’s just my usual reticence and reluctance automatically kicking in, the way it did when she first discussed become parents all those years ago. I fought against it then, but would I be without my son now? Hell, no. So maybe the idea of having another little Chesworth filling the house with giggles is a good one. The idea of practising fornication as a means of procreation is certainly a good one, but knowing my luck I’d impregnate Philippa the first time we had sex, and that would be the end of all the fun stuff.
Sometimes I’m so male it disgusts me.
