Thanks, I love your site!
Thank you for putting me in my place with your words of wisdom.
When I was growing up the concern was overpopulation. It will not be possible to change at this late date. There were 150 million USA citizens and you could go for a Sunday drive without encountering gridlock. There were stars in the night sky. It’s how it looks to this one, which is no more than a viewpoint of which everyone has one.
*************
Thanks, but it's not really mine. It just seems that way sometimes.
Yes, everyone has a right to their viewpoint. I just had to add my own.
I've no intention of putting you in any place, nor am I under the illusion that I am wise.
Just commenting on your comments.
“Since the few who have husbands will generally outlive them, they are more or less guaranteed to die alone.”
Some of us don’t like people all that much anyway, LOL!
Damn good comback girlfriend.....
Sorta like “Last one alive gets the remote!”
I get the exact opposite line of questioning. “You’re having another one? Don’t you know what causes that? Are you going to have your tubes tied this time so you don’t have to have any more?”
I’m only working on my 4th child. Can’t imagine what Tax-chick has had to put up with!! :o)
Anyway, questions about children from either side is just so rude and way too personal!
Hee hee...It’s all I can do to put up with having my hubby around. I could not handle having anyone else in the house, like kids, or elderly parents. I am exhausted on the weekends when hubby is home. I am an introvert, and I need my alone time in order to remain a healthy and productive human being. I think God knows what I need, because he made me, and I believe that he did not create me to be a mom. I would love to spend holidays in a quiet way with just my hubby, no extended family. Someday I hope to live in a cabin in the woods and become a hermit writer.
We
are
twins.
No matter what, there are always the know-it-alls who’ll try to make you feel evil and selfish.
They are the evil ones.
Ignore them. We all weren’t made for the same things.
My kids are so loud that I can't hear what anyone says, anyway.
So, only good looking people get married?
Have you seen ....
Wait... I have a list.
Where is it written that the person who takes care of you in your elder years must be a blood relative?
I have people in my life that I watch over in their autumnal years - and they are no relation to me. Just dear friends who have become like family.
In today's world... sometimes... A Family is just a group of Friends who love you.
Blood doesn't create that.
Oh, thank you for saying that! I have often feel like a defective person, and have just recenlty learned to appreciate my introverted self.
It’s so easy for others to judge those who choose not to have kids, and their favorite label is “selfish,” along with “not living in God’s will.” I don’t understand what drives people to judge that way, except for the ego boost it gives them to put others down. If they were so secure in their decision to have kids, why would they criticize those who make a different decision? Maybe they are jealous, LOL!
No, the people who whine and cry most about Mexicans "stealing" jobs are those who haven't tried to find enough "American" workers to pick a whole apple crop recently, and would probably whine about the prices if the farmers did so.
Those who whine and cry most about America's "ethnic balance" are racists.
Having children to try to ensure a color balance in the country, or the world, is probably the worst reason I can think of to do so. The human species will become whatever color it's going to become with or without my input. More power to them!
She has no life because she has no kids, or because she is talking about it????????
Oh Jersey, I had enough kids for both of us, so go ahead and enjoy your life without guilt. Like you have any anyway. :D
