I hear ya. I have asthma so I’m not supposed to pets (have 2 cats), no books unless they’re behind glass (try finding curio cabinets for 1200 books at a reasonable price), no dustcatchers (ha).
I’m also very protective over animals and that is why I felt like I had to do this…otherwise who knows what would have happened. I just did not want to take the chance. Afterall these are defendless.
And yes my situation is very frustrating.
I’m also inflicted with asthma but I still sleep with the birds in my room and the two cats. One thing that I want people to understand…I won’t give up my cats, my birds or my son like some people I know have told me I should do to get a better life. Sorry, no way, not for me.Who in the world would want you to give up your son?!?!?!?!? 👿 👿 Are they out of their minds? Do they not understand how impossible that is? I understand that there are sometimes extenuating circumstances and that adoption for some birth parents is and can be a blessing; painful obviously but a blessing for the adoptive family. However, once your child is home with YOU and loved and raised by YOU, that’s just horrible that anyone even suggest such a thing! *Sorry for the rant. That suggestion is just wrong!* Hang in there BDW!

I second this.
It wouldn’t be a “better” life if it was guilt ridden, that’s for sure. People say the strangest things, thinking they are ok. I remember my “best friend” asking me why I didn’t have an abortion when I got pregnant with my daughter. What a thing to ask! 🙄 I understand people have different solutions to problems, but I don’t think unsolicited advice of that nature is always welcome.
Thanks guys…Some people don’t understand how you can still love a child even with an handicap. I do worry what will happen to him once I’m gone. Me not having any brothers or sisters and his father not wanting anything to do with him, he will be left alone.
I have an update on my canary chick. He is doing well sometime accidentaly falls to the bottom of the cage but mostly stays in the nest. Mother feeds him if he is in the nest. Funny thing is that he acts just like a 21 day old chick. He grab the side of the nest with his little claws and bats his wings like crazy just like he wanted to take of with the nest. That is the behavior of a 21-24 day old chick.
Here is some pictures of him at 16 days:PS: I really like the buttermilk color on his chest
He relly resembles the other female I had.

I’m glad your little chick is doing well.
When my husband and I told some friends who were childless by choice that we were planning our son, their reaction was a shocked, Why?
What really pissed me off was that they were very unsupportive, and more or less excluded me from the group after he was born, but supported my friend Kim all the way through her attempts and did not exclude her once she succeeded.
They excluded my friend Jennifer from the group too, I guess since getting pregnant wasn’t a huge stuggle for us, we were still in the “why are you doing this?” category. On top of that they were snobs, feeling that you should own a house, and be well off financially before you had kids, which was Kim’s situation.
I am still mad, 9 years of friendship tossed out just because we chose to have children, but one person was excepted. Good thing we don’t live near them anymore.

I don’t…husband still likes to think they are, but we’ve been in Idaho now for 3 years, and not one has called or written, not even email. Tell you anything? It does me! But he’s still deluded.

A WHAT???
He looks like a baby bird with feathers and everything. I’m surprised at how big he has gotten in such a short time
