You Want Kids
Despite Randie’s views on pregnancy and kids…. I send my best wishes to Katie, Dave & new kidlet, Jasper… (welcome, little Jazz).

That’s putting it mildly!
And yet we continue to perpetuate as a species… there must be SOMETHING nice about having kids…
Oh, yeah… parenthood. The knowledge and joy and experience of having children who love you and want to learn from you and who make you feel complete.

You are the kind of person who SHOULD have kids… (and I leave the whole kid-rearing thing to you and others like yourself)… So many people ought not to have the childrens… many parental persons (if you can call them that) can’t take care of themselves, much less their offspring! But those who WANT kids and enjoy the process and are willing to make the sacrifices involved with procreating… have at it!
I’m good with cats.
*blush* Thanks. And you called it. One of the best lines I’ve ever heard on the movies was said by Keanu Reeves (of all people) in the movie PARENTHOOD. He was expounding on the abuse he suffered from his dad and summed it up (paraphrasing) when he said to his sympathetic mother-in-law:
“You need a license to drive a car. You need a license to own a dog. Hell, you need a license to catch a fish. But they’ll let any b***-reaming a**hole be a father.”
Pardon the language there (even though it was bleeped out). But that line so underscores your opinion, Brig, and mine as well. And while it would be morally wrong to require licensing for kids, there are times when you look at some miserable excuse for a parent – by anyone’s standards – and your heart goes out to the child.
Anyway, enough of the heavy stuff. GIVE US MORE GUS!! *hehe*
It can’t be that bad. Then again, I take considerable pleasure in being mean to my nephew.
Uncle Sam needs your money for important things, learn this now, and life will be much easier later on.
Fortunately, Uncle Sam, is usually off robbing poor children of their clothing, so my nephew doesn’t suffer too much.
And then, theres the tax rebates!
