Children; The Burden
Giving up relaxing evenings, wealth, sleeping in, care free vacations, FREEDOM, a clean nice house, to devote one's prime years to perpetual babysitting is a choice fewer and fewer educated people are willing to make. I love children but life is too short to endure the burden of being a full time parent. I would compare being completely legally responsible for a child to that of being on death row. Because by the time a child is grown up and truly on their own, a parent is old and physically failing anyway. Basically dead.I would be tempted to say, most children are born by accident or by ignorance. I would also predict that as the world becomes more and more educated, population will decline. After a weekend of babysitting, I feel peak population may be very near. Never fall in love with a child. They will destroy you emotionally and they will rob you of a life.
Agree or disagree?

Hard for a REAL man to accept such a demotion. Could this explain divorce? Are men who stay married with children lacking testosterone? Could a woman save her marriage if she played the role of a real mother?
Curious one
My parents married at 19..Had my sister then me AND they were both educated..My dad had a skilled trade he went to school for 4 to 5 years for..
I kind of doubt you can call a person "uneducated" simply because they had children.
Does this mean your parents were ignorant, illiterate and uneducated because they had "you"?
For example when you do get real old, who will care about you when you are feeble and have no one to share special moments or holidays with? I dont have any children at home now, but I do look forward to hopefully some day in the future, my son marrying a nice girl and visiting me with a grand child or two.
It might be many years from now, but if and when it happens, I will be more than happy to see this.
It is what we make of it and change it when we recognize it.

ps i don't usually look there, but they are difficult to miss.
adding that to the story, I agree with you, and understand what you mean.
My brother and his wife have a handicapt kid and they cannot handle it either, and she is so sweet and lovable.
I take her in my home every once in a while, and seeing her brighten up, its worth all the money of the world.
But also, as you say, bringing her back, see the sad face, I wish I had never known her too.
My brother and his wife have no clue what they are doing either, and thats real sad for the kid. At least she knows I love her.
