Perhaps the term baggage wasn't ideal..maybe additional emotionally weight...I wasn't for one moment referring to children as baggage...I was meaning the whole situation with child there has to be a father and perhaps a broken marriage to sort out...this was the additional weight I was referring too.

Joe, over the years I remember many a time you have reminded us about the thousands of pounds you've bombed out and the sacrifices you made in your professional career for the sake of getting all your children here...im not saying you were moaning about it but, you came close to it.

All what im saying..in hindsight given the choice you probably would of taken a smoother path.
