Actually, in the pursuit of brevity, I left out that my lawyer neighbor and her partner had gone to a fertility clinic to conceive the little boy. (I wasn't trying to be co;, I don't know if the donor was anonymous or a friend).
I have known many single career women who let the clock tick too long who took the same option.
The drive to have children is very strong with many, I'd guess most, women.
They seem to be loving parents and he is a darling child.
I will suffer the flames for saying that he is better off than the children of the children (15 year olds) up the street at the time. At least he was wanted and has a comfortable home with a stay-at-home mom who was 28 when he was born.
"Actually, in the pursuit of brevity, I left out that my lawyer neighbor and her partner had gone to a fertility clinic to conceive the little boy. (I wasn't trying to be co;, I don't know if the donor was anonymous or a friend)."
However, of those two accomplices in sodomy, only one conceived. The other was superfluous to the process.
"I have known many single career women who let the clock tick too long who took the same option."
That really should be a crime.
"The drive to have children is very strong with many, I'd guess most, women."
Men, too, but there are no shortage of voices calling for men to be responsible in scratching that itch. Where are the voices calling for single women, sodomites or not, to exercise responsibility? This presumption that a woman alone--or two women together, or two men together--can properly raise a child is nothing less than toxic.
"They seem to be loving parents and he is a darling child. I will suffer the flames for saying that he is better off than the children of the children (15 year olds) up the street at the time."
That's what longitudinal studies are all about. Things are not always what they seem, as I'm sure you know.
"...(15 year olds)...At least he was wanted and has a comfortable home with a stay-at-home mom who was 28 when he was born."
Stay-at-home is good, but who says 28 is better than 15? Statistically, most of us here have grandparents who were children of 15 year olds...or perhaps 15 and 13, or 30 and 15, or 25 and 13, or any number of options that our dysfunctional society with its overflowing prisons, skyrocketing illegitimacy, metastasizing divorce rates, and glorification of the abomination of sodomy thinks undesirable.
Let's see, now: previous generations did it their way and had a pretty healthy society.
We do it our way and are turning into a loathsome pile that will make Sodom and Gomorrah look like Mayberry R.F.D.
Suppose there's a connection?
Maybe girls *should* be becoming parents at 15 in a society that forbids divorce. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to work.
