It’s ok to disagree.

I don’t doubt that they would love a child, it was more their ability to raise a child.
I guess it depends on your definition of good parenting doesn’t it? I want my son to grow up healthy and active. I encourage him to have an enquiring mind and try new things and develop his sense of independence. I want him to be resilient and know that even when things are tough is able to achieve wonderful things. I want him to be the very best version of himself. I am willing to sacrifice anything for myself to make those things happen. Parenting is bloody hard!
Emma is unable to see anything through (she can’t drive or swim, nothing ever came of the gym or c25k or the bloody aromatherapy course or whatever that was) and she relies on those around her to do things for her. Chris has the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old, smirking and grunting in the background. I do like her Mother and I think she will make a good grandparent if Emma’s brother has children.
So again, to clarify, I agree that they would love a child. But to me being a parent is so much more than taking trips to The Range, buying endless tat or being glued to the sofa watching tv.
