Really what is sad about this and others have commented on it is that when out in public the dogs usually behave better than children.

More and more places are allowing dogs but banning children.

We would have preferred children, but did not happen. There was a time when we had four dogs at once, we have owned seven during our 38 year marriage.

I’ve got 3 nieces. Stable marriages. Let me withdraw $300k tax free and I’ll divide it amongst the 3 provided they bring into the world that 3rd kid. All rich uncles out there offer do the same. Screwed up women can bring into this world that ONE child they were chosen to(by God) and put it up for adoption. Problem solved. Holidays are more fun that way.

I like dogs and children but have neither. No time and not married.
I know a lot of people who treat their dogs like babies, and either have no kids or leave them with others for up to 8 hours of the day.
I wonder why they do these things but there’s no polite way to ask.

Satan has flim-flammed Western culture into committing suicide in a dozen different ways.

I wonder how many are going to say it’s all men’s fault.

MGTOW is the way forward.

They must not know that dogs and cats will be first on the chopping block once the New Green Scam hits. That’s gonna suck.

“Look, dogs are great and all, but we were made for communion with other people. The family bond is so central to our design that merely pursuing it leads to greater happiness.”

When I was a pore widdle 17-year-old orphan (cue violins), I was given a feral German Shepherd. We had a very strong bond. A friend of mine took the dog when I went into the Navy, and for decades I went without a dog because of life situations.

I got another German Shepherd last year, which is now one year old. But it’s different.

I’ve been married 33 years, and I have a mess of kids and grandkids. It’s not just me and the dog against the world.

I think, based on my own experience, that some single dog owners invest emotion in their dog that rightly belongs to a spouse and progeny.

I guess it’s better that they have some comfort in life, but IMO all—all—of life’s greatest joys are connected with obeying God’s order to be fruitful and multiply.

I understand that some people undergo the great sorrow of childlessness, but I believe that God has a plan for them too.

When people get married, she writes, they retreat into “socially neglectful cocoons.”

She means they are less likely to vote for wasteful social spending programs that benefit the International Socialist agenda, preferring to keep their tax dollars and spend them on their own families.

We have more possessions and less time to enjoy them.

250 grand per kid today plus women divorce raping men at unprecedented rates and taking rhe kids away for alimony 2 and 3.

Simply not affordable.

Funny how they only focus on happiness of married people.

They are only happy until they’re divorced.

Ask the divorced people how happy they are compared to single people.

I can believe it. In our neighborhood pretty much every household has a dog. There are a lot of forest preserves and hiking trails nearby and at least a half dozen dog parks, so there are scores of places where one can take one’s dog. And in the late afternoon and early evening, when people get home from work, there is a virtual army of people walking their dogs on the sidewalks. While we’ve pretty much always had a dog, I have never seen so many dogs in one neighborhood as we have here.

Where I live (San Francisco), I’ve long noticed that dog ownership among childless women over 25 is about 95%. I have nothing against dogs, but it’s pretty sad to see so many satisfying their maternal instinct with pets. On other hand, on a long-term basis, brain-dead liberals not breeding isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

This is not news. A remember a story like this from at least 20 or 30 years ago. Older people, either couples or singles, have pets. They are past the child-bearing age so of course they don’t have children. We now have more older people than ever. These pets are not replacing children. They’re just pets.

Writing in The Atlantic recently, Mandy Len Catron bemoaned “What You Lose When You Gain a Spouse.” According to her, family life is isolating and unfair to outsiders, because spouses give most of their attention to each other and to their kids. When people get married, she writes, they retreat into “socially neglectful cocoons.”

This article is a hoot!

"Single women have more time to attend political rallies!"

Feminazis have made marriage a hazardous position for men. The Left has successfully destroyed marriage in this country.

Top baby name in the U.S. is now Mohammed, so some tribes are having babies. Heads up!
