I find pleasure and children to be very closely correlated. I wonder why the author doesn't ...
Because he’s a narcissistic leftist.
When you have children, you have to become less self centered, or things go haywire.
Amen. You gotta wonder about somebody who looks at children as the punishment for having sex.
Because the selfish and selfishness dominate the chattering classes.
As I moved forward in my career and associated with more higher earners, I noticed a larger and larger group of married couples without children. When it came down to why, the reason was "more for me".
Regardless of the immaturity of the author, that fact needs repeating often enough that our society notice that it is a truism.
I find pleasure and children to be very closely correlated.
What a silly comment.
You and he probably agree completely on this issue. But because the title of the essay, chosen most likely to perk interest, is not to your liking you claim to be in complete disagreement with him.
Why is it that Freepers seem to feel preternaturally determined to disagree with everyone ... even with those who they are in complete agreeance with?
Because some children turn out to be bums...
My husband makes fun of me for watching Jon and Kate plus 8 and asked why I did, I told him that I could watch kids all day there is nothing quite as charming, funny or frustrating as a child.
My kids are grown and 2 of my grandkids live far away and the 2 that live next door are teens and they hardly have time for me anymore, so I have a spoiled dog. I teach Catechism too so I’m not totally deprived of the company of children.
