Well, my laptop broke last week so I've been MIA. Sad story, I tripped and fell down the stairs while holding my laptop. Luckily I was fine, but my laptop took a beating. I've been using the hubby's MacBook Air. I convinced him that his laptop would need to be mine until I got a new one since checking Facebook was part of my social daily need to keep me happy - great guy I married, he bought it.
On to this million dollar family stuff. Last week a friend of mine shared a link on Facebook and the author referred to families with one boy and one girl as the million dollar family. I had never heard of this saying before I read the blog post. It's interesting though that so many people consider the family of four with one boy and one girl the perfect family. I remember being pregnant with Marlo and when I told people I was having a girl and already had a boy, they would say something like, "You're so lucky! Now you're done having kids! One of each is perfect!"
I love my son, but that kid is a handful. He makes Marlo look like the easiest, best baby in the world, which she is (most of the time). Sometimes I wonder if my life would be easier if I had two girls. My neighbor is pregnant with her third boy - man, the thought of that terrifies me. She told me that she was listening to some talk show and the host said having three boys is like having six children. I totally believe it.
But personality does make a difference. Liam and Marlo have different fathers. Joe is the most easy going person I know - this is where Marlo gets her disposition. I wouldn't describe Liam's birth father as easy going at all.
Anywho, wanted to share my thoughts. Am I out of the loop or have others heard of this million dollar family thing? And is the family of four with one boy and one girl really the perfect family?
It's good enough for me! ;P
