Since you’re wondering, I had a very normal childhood. I’d even go so far as to describe it as “happy,” as far as such things go. Among other things, I was not molested, nor did I torture small animals. For a bit more context, I was voted “Most Talented” in my high school graduating class, and was honorable mention in the categories of “Class Clown” and “Most Likely to End Up in Prison.” You can read into that what you will.

I must say, it sounds just like a Norman Rockwell painting.

Back to the topic at hand.

Rustico,

What a truly wonderful post, and I couldn’t agree more.

Having kids is a **full-time** job, and is more work than most outside jobs. However, it is also one of the most fulfilling things a person can ever experience — and you will only understand this if you actually have (and take care of!!!) your own children.

There are people who like to be selfish and not have anyone inconvenience them. They should probably not get married and definitely should not have kids. The entirely of your universe changes when forming familes, and for those who are unwilling to “go with it,” the shift can be brutal, which is probably why children are considered “stress factors” in a marriage — they truly are, if you’re not willing to be totally selfless and considerate of others.

For those who don’t want to get married/have kids, don’t do it. Why do these people (mostly men) feel they have to convert everyone to their anti-marriage/anti-children religion? Just don’t do it and be done with it. My only complaint would be about those who feel this way but fail to tell their dates and waste everyone’s time and energy on a failed relationship. Be honest, tell your date(s) that you don’t intend to get married or have children, and let her make the choice to continue to date you. Otherwise, you’re being deceptive, which is wrong in any dating/mating situation.

Personally, I think most people should be brutally honest on their first dates. Just get everything on the table and let people make informed decisions about what to expect and whether or not they want to pursue a relationship.

Apparently you do, Marion. How’s the search for that vaginamoney lawyer coming along?

As a point of fact, I’ve never actually directly paid for sex before (not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course – I’m not ruling it out for the future), but I’ve paid for a lot of meals, gifts, vacations, etc. for women over the years (that could be interpreted as “indirect” payment for sex). Of course, if these women are considered “prostitutes” by you… and I recall from an earlier post of yours that you were complaining about a guy not treating you to a “nice dinner” (I believe it was)… wait a minute, Marion… this whole prostitute thing is starting to take an interesting turn…

And yet, you remain alone. I on the other hand, can pick and choose.

One guy, Dave. ONE. Who was summarily dumped. There are others, Dave. In any event, in a serious relationship involving two adults, I assume both would be working, both should chip in on entertainment.

Now, let’s stop this here and let the thread stay on topic. It’s rather childish, don’t you agree?
