I vote for "natural conception" within marriage. The world is making things more complicated than they need to be, and less fun.
Companies that forbid employee relationships are promoting loneliness. Maybe that makes for worker bees willing to work longer hours, but it's not good overall.

Co-parenting. A euphemism.

A society in which adults can demand what they want when they want it must be indifferent to the misery this causes children.

But the courts in the US have a hodgepodge or rules about when the sperm donor gets to pay child support.
No thanks.

What could possibly go wrong?

This is part of the reason why I detest people who bash gays while remaining silent on divorce. There are few non-violent things in life that are as devastating to an innocent child as parents divorcing because of their own selfish needs.

Amen.
The best thing parents can do for their children is to love one another.

That’s the most common issue. The never-married births, the artificial conceptions where the child may never know one or both biological parents, the parents who decide they can “change sex,” etc.
No responsibility.

And as the cost of living has increased
Maybe we should stop Stealing 5% of the Value of everyone's Dollar every year, but then again Without The FED and the Loaning into Society Free Fiat Currency that loses 5% of value every year. what would the bankers and wall street do.

I don’t get this. I got married. I went to school (night classes). Then she went to school ( night classes). Went to community college then State University. I did elec eng she did comp sci. We had kids in the mix. We enjoyed it. It’s a lot of work but doable without borrowing. Grandparents helped with babysitting sometimes. They loved it. Kids love being with grandparents.
All it takes is a little planning and not all that much sacrifice.

Liberals repeat the lie that half of all marriage end in divorce, so it is safer and freer to never marry. They lie that just living together is as stable as marriage, when in reality, 85% split in 10 years (with kids) whereas 75% of married couples with kids remain married that long.

He said about 60% of the co-parenting seekers are women. The male clientele is evenly split between single gay men and heterosexual men, both seeking to be co-parents with women. There are also same-sex couples looking to have a mother or father figure in their childs life.What could POSSIBLY go WRONG???
DANG!
