haven't missed much by not having any of our own brats. Inspector Gadget I won't be cruising and enjoying life had I not missed the joy of parenthood. you are correct. |

"are not contributing to the future of our gene pool" Are there not enough
people in the world already? Be glad everyone is not having 2.5 kids. We would be more overrun with people then we are already. Ernie "D Ball" wrote in message ...

Simply horrendous! Adults need a license to drive an automobile, but not to have children .. . . go figure. Karen wrote: Rick Navigator of the Seas-Lifeboats thrown overboard.

Amen to that sentiment, Ernie.

" Yes I enjoy this experience, knowing that their not my kids and we
haven't missed much by not having any of our own brats." You keep telling yourself that and remember that when you die alone and unloved in a state run nursing home. |

Just the kind of parent I would NOT want to be, is one that expects their
kids to take care for them when they are old. They will have their own life to lead and that is exactly what I would want them to do. I would certainly NOT expect my kids to take care of me when I'm old, nor would I want them to. I would want them to live their own life and enjoy it. Also, who says just because you don't have kids you will grow old to be unloved and uncared for? Have you ever heard of a spouse, partner, friends, etc? Besides, who says your kids will outlive you anyway? Wrong attitude to be sure. Ernie "CX" wrote in message ...

You keep telling yourself that and remember that when you die alone and unloved in a state run nursing home. Surely you're kidding?? Have you any idea how many older parents never see their adult children, how many adult children have to actually be taken into court as legally responsible relatives in order to help provide for their parents in nursing homes? Your scenario is a rosey (but false) depiction at best. No one should have a child in order to put them to work or make them feel guilty. Both reasons are bad excuses for parenthood.

I applaud people who realize that they are not cut out for parenthood, and so choose not to bring a child into the world that they are unprepared to nurture into adulthood. As a teacher in a public high school, I can say that I wish a lot more people had made that decision!!!! Chris |

Thank you for saying that, Chris. As a teacher in a public high school, I can say that I wish a lot more people had made that decision!!!! As a former probation officer and custody report writer for the judiciary, I wish the very same thing.
