Tired Topic

Another day off, another conversation with my wife about the possibility of her becoming pregnant again. She’s becoming obsessed (again). Admittedly, she has some good reasons:

1.    If they’re close together in age, they’ll get on well and play nicely together.

2.    Philippa would like to get childbirth over and done with, so she can concentrate on a career.

3.    We might as well have another one while we’re locked in parent mode, and have recent experience of dealing with a baby.

4.    Every ‘only child’ we know has grown up to be a weirdo.

But still – it’s not a pressing matter for me, and not something I want to be going over and over every weekend when I should really be relaxing after a hard week of trying to get my head around a new job.
Maybe that’s her strategy – beat me into submission with constant barracking, so that eventually I cave in and impregnate her just to get a break from the incessant onslaught of pressure. Sneaky cow. I’ll have to develop a counter-strategy. I might wear a condom permanently just to make sure nothing happens when I’m distracted.
