We came to the decision to have children before marriage. It is unfair to the other person if you have a different opinion regarding children after marriage.
Gay marriage hs nothing to do with this-in which I do not support.
Do you think that people should be celibate, and not get married if they do not want children?
When you talk about choices that I made, do you think that having children is a beneficial choice?
Who are you to say what is good for me?
Are you Obama in disguise? He always likes to say what is good for us, and we should eat our peas.
I never was into raising children, the childbirth process, the diaper stage, the adolescent stage. Never something I wanted to do.
I wanted to travel, go out when I wanted to, pursue athletic endeavors.
I did not want to sit at home raising children.
I certainly did not want to invest years into a child, only to find out that I did not like my child as a person.
I have seen this happen many times with my friends.
If I want to interact with children, I have plenty of nieces and nephews. They go home at night.
I never said that the person with 17 children was my sister, but her life sucked because she believed what the Pope told her to do.
I meant “ We came to the decision NOT to have children....
People grow when they live for more than just self.
Goodnight.
“Gay marriage hs nothing to do with this-in which I do not support.”
Then you don’t believe that marriage is a commitment between two people. You believe that marriage is a commitment between a man and a woman.
What’s the difference between a marriage, and say, a roommate? Having a roommate is a commitment too.
“Do you think that people should be celibate, and not get married if they do not want children?”
Yes, that makes sense to me. If you want children get married. If you don’t, then refrain.
“When you talk about choices that I made, do you think that having children is a beneficial choice?”
It depends on the person. It depends on the circumstance, but I believe that children are a benefit to society in general and that for the vast majority, having a family is beneficial to them. That’s not the same as saying that everyone should have children.
“Who are you to say what is good for me?”
Who I am? Just another keyboard cowboy concerned about unintended consequences. I do not have the right to tell you what you ought to do with your life. I do have the right to express my opinion that I believe that long term use of birth control is unhealthy.
“I certainly did not want to invest years into a child, only to find out that I did not like my child as a person.”
Interesting. So you believe that the purpose of children is to satisfy you.
“but her life sucked because she believed what the Pope told her to do.”
So why did her life suck? In your opinion, her life sucked, could she not say that your life without children sucks too?
Wow!
