Mark Thatcher has long been noted for being inconsiderate to his mother.

Is it just me, or am I being reminded of a certain Reagan son here for a REASON?

Just goes to show, eh... the best of us, can have the worst of kids. Whether that works in reverse, is an experiment I've never been game to try for myself.

Perhaps there is wisdom in the not having kids bit, after all. Just a thought...

It is not just you. I see another reason Maggie and Ronnie had for their bond---nutty progeny.

No, my friend: kids do not happen, they are raised. And if you raised the worst, you are not best.

It is a wise thought on your part not to have kids until you understand that point and are strong enough to exercise a combination of love and leadership -- that's what it takes to raise them.
