(other than regular sex and someone to reach stuff on the top shelf).

Regular sex? what's that..........we've got a 5yo...........

And I'm nearly as tall as he is, so I can reach the top shelf myself!!!

But all kidding aside.......everyone's situation is different, even if there are some similarites, which is why all the woman bashing that goes on in these threads drives me nuts.

If some of these mysoginists would sit back and look beyond their hatred they would see they are part of the problem. For generations women were expected to stay home and keep the house and family. then when hubby decided to go through male menopause or midlife crisis and dump her - she had nothing because he had always controlled everything. Over the years the courts and laws have evolved in an effort to right some of the past wrongs. while I agree that in many cases they do go overboard in punishing men, there is an historical background to why the courts seem to favor the woman.

I'm not saying it is right and that there aren't some women who abuse the system, but by and large that is the exception rather than the rule.

Thanks for making this point.

Amen to your comments about the reason for the present court system.

If the laws and courts were not so biased against men and in favor of women, women wouldn't be the one's filing for divorce in 2/3 of the cases. I used to work for a few divorce lawyers. I've seen what happens, to whom it happens, and how often if happens. I've seen judges tell men that they are not going to get custody of their kids because they are men. But no one cares until it happens to them.

The birth rate in this country isn't dropping for no reason at all. Every year more men wake up to the fact that getting married and starting a family is to risky. I'm just glad I have a daughter, because she will never be subjected to the double standards and outright hostility that men are by the system.
