Gomberg: Thinking of my buddy, protector and confidant makes me wonder — Should I have another kid?

Related Topics: Confidant, Thought, Child

Sometimes, rather unexpectedly, my wife, Elenor, and I talk about having another kiddo. It’s weird, because I never thought we’d have one, let alone a brood. I don’t know if it’s hormones or conditioning or what, but something makes us wonder every now and again about putting another proverbial bun in the oven.

But there’s always so much to consider. Which of us would carry this babe? Could our hearts possibly love another as much as we love Harvey? Do we trust the world will be safe enough to continue bringing humans into it?

The thing that pushes me to consider it, though, is my own experience, growing up with a big sister.
