That is true ... one never knows what will happen!
Lets bet tax chicky, how much dough you got to lay on the line? Put up or shut up.
Bless your bowels, honey ... I just love your sense of humor!
Given the fact that SHE is the one who will be walking around with a huge belly for 9 months, throwing up in the mornings, and experiencing horrendous pain in labor, not to mention changing the diapers, getting up at all hours to feed the baby, and possibly experiencing postpartum depression...
I think you should stop pressuring your wife to have kids. Perhaps she is not being stubborn. Perhaps she is being wise.
Mature grownups: Madonna, Jennifer Aniston, Howard Stern, Bill Clinton...
Definfitely Immature: Rush Limbaugh, Condoleezza Rice, Mother Teresa, Linus Pauling...
Learn something new every day, I guess...
OH, and what are the divorce rates for parents with kids today, vs parents without kids? Come on tax chicky, you can find those stats anywhere. So, that must explain why divorced parents with kids, which has done wonders for today's society, hate each other more then they love their kids. I guess you have never had the opportunity to work in a real family atmosphere like Family Court.
Believe me she is being stubborn..
That's a shame that you both don't agree... did you talk about it before marriage?
Much as others on this site may hate us, there are just some of us out here who have no desire to have screaming little brats running around.
Having a baby is tough, after all! Not only is your body being held hostage for nine months, but relations afterwards can change forever.
I loved every minute, even the semi-nauseous ones, of my pregnancy. My husband, on the other hand, was terrified the entire time. Good luck!
It's a shame you view children as screaming brats. :(
If you are going to try to make the case for your maturity, sophistry isn't the best way.
At first she did, now she wants wait.. I don't know why...
Thank you..
No offense, but some of the childless folks are coming across as pretty self-righteous as well.
This thread has degenerated into a brawl, and it's a shame.
I have friends, who, when they became parents, became astonished at how fast kids grew. This lead them to form a business in used childrens' clothing. A store opened, franchises were created, they quite their day jobs, and eventually sold the chain. People who really "Get into it" are rewarded one way or another.
I am assuming that for the most part, on here, we are all writng to and about "good" parents. But we all see bad ones, too, elsewhere.
These articles happen as specific times.
Now that christmas time is over, it seems the author is attacking people with children as "not smart."
I predict in June when the most weddings occure we will have to suffer the "happy to be single" articles.
This article is a transparent propaganda piece. It has nothing to do with hetersoexual married people having or not having children. IT has EVERYTHING to do with towing the leftist objective of removing children from marriage.
Next articles to look for:
Mr/Ms.'s homosexual lover can't adopt their sex partner's children. (27 states as of no have no same sex recreational sex partner adoption)
Mr./Ms. can't adopt a child because of evil laws. (six states have adoption restrictions against homosexual with two outright bans.)
Families with children are a burden to society.
Housing boom for people without children (homosexuals, never-will marrys)
People without children will raise property values next door, People with children lower your property values.
Because she won't say or you haven't asked? You maybe aren't having the in-depth discussions about it that you should.
