Were you a planned baby?

[mmmm]

I know I probably haven't covered all the options but it should be interesting to see who comes out on top. (Or highly predictable).

Unwelcome surprise, as far as I know. My parents were in good shape financially, but they were in their mid-20's and basically just very irresponsible people (still are) and weren't ready for me. It only took a few years for everything to fall apart. It was a situation where things were actually going too good and all they did was find ways to ruin it, which they did perfectly.

I was planned, though my entire family agree that my mother chose the wrong partner LOL. That was, and is to this day, the root to many problems.

mom told me that the birthcontrol didnt work, and for my sister the condom broke, because she was angry that i didnt do the laundry or something to that affect, so go figure, lol

My parents were both 22 when I was born. They were high school dropouts who were working various odd jobs to make ends meet. My dad pressured Mom to have an abortion, but she refused, so they settled that I would be the last baby. On the day I was born, my dad wouldn't get out of bed to drive her to the hospital, so mom walked there by herself. I've always had a warm relationship with my mom, but kind of distant with my dad.

My conception wasn't "planned", but there was no attempt to prevent it, either.

In those days, people just kept having kids until the car was full.

I'm the youngest of four. My dad had himself fixed soon after I was born.

No I was a definite mistake..a big one, I'm a twin.

I was the only planned baby in my family.
Mom and dad had my older sister- she was 4 and mom decided that she didn't want her to be a spoiled only child; so they got to work on making another baby. 9 months later- I was born.

When I was 2, my parents divorced and I can pretty much say that they got divorced because of all of the stress of having 2 children rather than just one. So yes- I am the reason my parents split up. lol. They'd never say that, but I'm an adult and I can understand how it went.

My sister was a surprise and so was my younger brother.

My parents were married and they planned on having children. What wasn't planned was they got me and I got them...

 

[Hellhound]

They changed their minds when I turned out to be not what they expected.

I was a planned baby even though my parents weren't married at that time, and I only found out about the live-in thing they had going recently. It was big news, because I always knew my mother as this religious nut who'd drag me to Church twice a week, and was so adamant about marriage before sex. What a way to set an example.

My siblings and I were all welcome surprises. My parents don't plan anything in their lives, lol.

 

[rjv]

yes. but i was supposed to be a boy. they named me after my dad anyway.

 

[shyguymi]

Sometimes i think i just sort of happened and they accepted it. I have times in my life where i feel i was raised wrong.

 

[Dr. Doom]

nah, im a bastard, who knows if i was welcome or not, but soon after my parents married. and they were married for close to 15 years

 

[JamesSmith]

I was wanted and planned. Hmm, I don't really have much to say about this

 

[Illusions]

I was the first child, so I'm gonna assume I was planned. I don't think my mum ever mentioned it, though she did say I was conceived in France (er, while it's interesting to note, I didn't need to know that).

 

[3lefts]

I was the kid that was supposed to save my parents marriage.

 

[Falkor]

i wasn't planned, i'm an accident =p, lol. But they rather call it a suprise =) they love me =)

Were you a planned baby?

Why is this important?
