” Dogs in costumes, dogs on walks, animals in poses. It is a tragedy,”
We have many like that here, in San Francisco, where many clans come to die out. Its weird, how often one hears of people who are the “last” of one or more families, childless, wealthy with so many inheritances, with no heirs.
I used to say the same things when I was a teen. I’m never getting married.. I’m never having children.
I’m married and we now have more children than anyone I know. Interesting how that works!
Amen-great point. It is easier to control a smaller population.
We have six children. Some were born when we had wiggle room in our budget, others were born when we relied on God to give us our daily bread-almost literally. Some were born in our youth, others were born when we had several gray hairs (I “restore” my natural color). Some were born and came home to new clothes and lots of baby gear , others came home to faded hand-me-downs and lots of arms willing to hold them.
All are loved, bring joy to those around around them and are a blessing to us. A hug and kiss from a toddler is like balm to the heart of a stressed and frustrated teen age sibling.
God commanded His people to be fruitful and multiply in good times and bad-even while they were in captivity. We cannot let our people slowly die out just because the other side is currently in power. How foolish and short sighted!
I don’t have kids, I don’t want kids. Why is that made out to be some horrible thing by so many people?
I am trying to stay out of this business. Thanks.
Well, it’s super easy to stay out of.
“True, but only if you are willing to take the extra step to ensure that the leftist establishment doesn’t indoctrinate your kids. “
When this country first started out it was not this way and people had kids. Lots of kids. Even if they had to homeschool or private school. The day the courts took God out of school is the day we should have taken our kids out period. Am I correct metmom?
And yet they expect the illegal and legal immigrants they bring in as replacements to support them in their retirement instead of euthanize them.
That's actually a sad commercial, because the guy always does what he says he's not going to do, so at the end when he says "I'm not letting go" that means he will soon be abandoning his children
I’ve not seen this commercial, as I no longer watch TV. What is it for?
On the contrary, it takes an unselfish person to make a good parent and anyone who's selfish enough to not have kids because of whatever reason, would not make a good parent.
I have a friend in his forties that never married or wanted kids. I look at him and I see someone who will die alone with no one probably giving a damn he was here.
He was crude but this is how these young people view having kids, and the reason why they don’t or won’t have them.

I am not disputing that he was accurate about the reasons they give —although I did not get far into the piece. My disgust is with his way of expressing himself.
Foul? Ass and Crappy? (OK maybe “n#ts@ck” was pushing the bounds of good taste) but I’ve read more foul language posted here of late. And it probably won’t get any better until after November (or maybe not). LOL!
I love that commercial. It reminds me of my nephew; the guy in the commercial even looks quite a bit like him. He is today very happily married with two young daughters, a beautiful wife, living in very nice house in the suburbs and driving, not a mini-van, but an SUV and is the VP of very successful business and is an all-around great and politically very conservative guy (and a gun enthusiast/ NRA member).
But there was a time when he was a punk kid, in his late teens and early 20’s and a bit of a “playa”, sometimes getting into some trouble although nothing major, but he did drop out of HS (but later got his GED and then went on to get a BA in business, then an MBA), but there was a time when some of us thought he might be more likely to end up in jail than turn out to be the great guy, the husband, father, son, brother and nephew he is today :)
Yes, I have been seeing a lot of vulgar language here, of late, as well, but that fact certainly does not make it any less offensive to me.
Really quite sick of the level to which our society has sunken.
One of the few valid reasons is having an incurable genetic disorder that will be passed on to your children. I’ve seen a woman think that her kid would beat the odds...they now cannot afford any more children due to his medical bills, he is permanently stuck at the mental age of ~8, and his life expectancy is shorter than my age.
Please get real, get screened, and consider adoption if the results come back really bad. I wouldn’t wish what happened to her on my worst enemy.
