Me, me, me, I want, I want, I want, nice example mom. Whatever happened to patience is a virtue. Or, did it ever occur to these women that the reason they didn't have men in their lives to father their own children is because the men didn't think they were a suitable for motherhood? If only the clinics could screen the potential mother...

They do. They screen to see if the check clears or the credit card is good. Other than that, one ovary looks just like another to them.

There are a whole lot of men in this country who aren't remotely suitable for fatherhood. And that shouldn't be a reason for a whole lot of women who ARE suitable for motherhood to forego reproducing. This is a social trend which will put more pressure on men to get their acts together. Instead of settling for a man who is a substance abuser, and/or violent, and/or a lazy bum, and imagining they can "change" him by "settling down" with him, women will increasingly leave men like that out in the cold where they belong. There are way too many households in this country where the father is a source of instability and terror in the home, and for the most part they're getting away with it because their wives have been brainwashed into thinking they must have a husband, and a father for their children, at all costs.

Well, obviously the women thought they were suitable for motherhood as they sought it out. Seems like a pretty strong urge on their part, if you ask me. And, let's not take the responsibility on the part of men out of the equation here either. Remember the old phrase why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? Too many men want the sex, but not the responsibility of fatherhood.

Meanwhile, a woman's biological clock keeps ticking on. Now, if she wants motherhood, which most women do, she's got a bit of a conundrum going for her here. She needs to strike while the iron is hot, or forget about motherhood. Many, many women will opt for motherhood, one way or the other. Adoption, foster care, sperm banks, whatever it takes. Easy for married women to say they shouldn't bring a child into the world when they already have theirs. A lot harder when for a variety of reasons, many women, because so many men nowadays shy away from marriage and its responsibilities, will be out of luck child-wise unless they do something about it fast. Women know that as each year passes, their chances of procreating decrease.

One always hopes for the ideal situation, a loving husband who wants children, but that's not so easy to find anymore. And the joys of raising a child outweigh most other considerations. Raising a child if you have the finances to do so, can work just fine. Although obviously, many poor people have children all the time too, in fact more so than rich people. A single friend of mine adopted two children from another country and both are smart kids, turning out wonderfully. She has them in a religious school, and they go to church every Sunday. She's got the money to do so, and a job that allows great flex time for her to properly raise the kids. Everything has worked out extremely well for both her and her children. Now, she's single. Those 2 kids didn't have a chance in the country they were orphans in. They would have had a miserable life. Now they have a good one.

The instinct for motherhood is great, and that isn't only for those who were lucky enough to have found the right mate who actually wanted to get married. Good for them. But what about all of the other women out there, especially in these modern times when too many men are weak, feminized, metrosexual, playboys, and want no responsibilities. There's two sides to this subject.
