Were you planned or an accident?

[quote name='Scorch']Another fun thing to think about - count forward three months from the month you or born (or 9 months back from the month you were born, whichever floats your boat) and think of an important event in that month. You were likely conceived then. You'd be suprised at how many people are exactly 9 months apart from their parents birthday.. :whistle2:k[/QUOTE]

Valentines... hehe
 
[quote name='munch']Which, certainly, makes you wonder if you really were planned.

My son was not an accident, but he surely was a surprise.[/quote]

Well, there were two miscarriages between my sister and me, and my parents were going to give up after me, I think.
 
planned but unwanted. my parents were married for years but my father didn't want kids. still doesn't. he's the center of the world as far as he's concerned and didn't want anyone distracting my mother's attention from him. needless to say, they're divorced.
 
I was painstakingly planned. My mom had numerous problems conceiving and a number of miscarriages before I was born. In fact, I was her final try.
 
You know I don't know but this got me thinking... I have 3 brothers, 2 born in December and one in January. December is 9 months from my parent's anniversary date, they're the two eldest. I'm born in August so I probably wasn't planned or a result of some holiday banging. My younger brother being born in January is probably a result of late Anniversary banging due to having 3 boys running around. Probably an accident too, since he's a 20 year old vampire.
 
Seven years between myself and my nearest sibling? Probably an accident.

However, the rather odd story of how my dad found out about my existence indicates that he had some idea what was going on. So... I dunno. I still figure accident, though.
 
2 years ago I found out that my parents got married about 4 months before I was born. Thus an accident.

And I am 42. Mom didn't even tell me, I was looking at the dates on the pictures from their wedding and put it together.
(They were divorced so I had never seen the pics before)
 
[quote name='javeryh']Some of your parents sound like dicks.[/QUOTE]

Well, half of them. It's kind of a requirement, barring technological intervention.

See 'Team America: World Police' for further detail.
 
I was planned in a vague sense. My mother started out intent on having six kids. No, not Mormon or Catholic. She came from a Jewish family that would have been five kids if the one before her hadn't died within days of birth. It was more of a post-WWII thing, where cranking big families was in vogue.

Things didn't go as planned. After my eldest sister there were no more pregnancies for six years. They were looking at adoption when my other sister came along, then my two brothers and me, each with less gap than the previous.

I was born approximately nine months after the JFK assassination. (At the old Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles, which today is the world HQ of Scientology. The TM people are almost next door. I've wondered if they commute together, like the Sheepdog and the Wolf in the old Warner cartoons.) I've kidded my mother a good deal about my parent's 'passionate' reaction to the event.
