I too saw this and gave it some thought, I love my kids but to do it all over again, I don't know. Its so much work, its so hard keep your relationship going. The pressure of supporting not only yourself but your wife and kids. The problems that kids cause and mine are only 6 and 8, I can hardly wait until they are teenagers. Like I said I love them and would do anything for them but to have to start all over I would have to give it some serious thought. > >(Ann Landers said she got 50,000 responses on these questions.) > > - John > >----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > __)) "Glass ceilings?
