How many parents do you know that thought about the payback before having children?[/quote]Historically, parents needed to have kids to help out with work on the farm.
Now, parents don’t need to work in the field… But people are more isolated and lonely. They ( women especially) believe that children will bring happiness and fulfillment.
Anticipated happiness is a payback, isn’t it?
My SIL has wanted children for a long time. When that “accident” occurred she couldn’t be happier.

Once again, how many parents do you know that thought about the payback before having children? Being vague about anticipated happiness is not a good enough answer. Anything in life can be “anticipated happiness”. No one would do anything in anticipation of unhappiness. I would never do anything that I know would cause be unhappiness. Would you? You stayed single and childless because you anticipate that such action would bring you happiness.March 29, 2010 at 11:24 AM #533026anParticipant[quote=briansd1]Anticipated happiness is a payback, isn’t it?
