I've been inspired by Lesbian Dad to write about kids. Billie and I want to have kids. Even though I've been passing myself off as the "Oh Hell No!" type when it comes to kids, my heart has softened, and I'd like some of my own to contribute to the world. Even more than kids in general, I want a boy, dammit! I know Billie has her heart set on having a daughter, and I'd be perfectly happy having one of each.
Maybe it's a bit selfish of me, but I'd like to have one to do the "dad" things with that my dad never did with me. Feel free to analyze that all you want. Maybe it's selfish, maybe I'm looking to fill an emotional hole that I can fill by myself, maybe I don't need to contribute to overpopulation, and maybe I'll need to be extra-super-duper careful that I'm not foisting off my burdens from my parents on to another generation, but I think between Billie and me, we can raise a respectful, creative, intelligent and progressive young man.
I just hope he doesn't get the bald gene.

I don't know what it is, but I very much agree with you. For a long time I never wanted to think about the possibility of children...but then it reared up and snapped me in the ass.
I wanna be a Lesbian Dad too.
Well, you've made me think, and instead of a long winded comment, I'll just post.
I wonder if it's a bad sign your word verification is "brattyp".
Just incase we both should avoid "P" names. Lmao
Kids are great I'm sure you'd make fab parents.
