I loved raising my children, and if I had it to do over I would in a heart beat!! I am now completely enjoying my grandchildren. If that makes me delusional, then I am proud to be!! Every child is a precious gift from God...maybe the issue is when people don’t understand or believe that.
I do agree that many people seem to have children without understanding the responsibilities. I did understand the responsibility and my only concern was that maybe I was too young...I was 24 when my oldest was born.
Ayn Rand, by the life she led, the positions she espoused, and the influence she exerted over the libertarian party made the two interchangeable.
I didn’t “choose” it was chosen for me but thanks for slapping me again!
You are right.The current stats say that 56% of women between the ages of 16 and 49 do not have children and IIRC the stats on the number of household with someone under the age of 18 is around 38% in the USA.
Since I’ve worked in nursing homes in the past I’d have to tell you that your assement would be wrong. There are many mnay people who have 5 or more kids who see no one weeks on end.From what I could see the ones who had no one and knew no one was comng were much happeir than the ones who knew someone had forgot them.
