This thread is pretty funny. I don't have kids yet, but I plan to later on. I know I won't be getting out 150 days a year especially on harder stuff but I've always thought like Minx and Rumr that why not just take them along. I have always nannied and taken the kids everywhere, diapers and all, and it is fun and really is no problem. Recently I was in a car accident and now my man has to cook, clean, run my errands, and even dress me and other things. I still want to make sure he gets out because I don't want to be an excuse now, I don't want kids to be an excuse later, and I always want to keep the same lifestyle we've had because it works. Though I do get jealous and want to go and I miss skiing in the mountains so much, it will be easier to get back into it if he keeps going.
