Thanks all of chiming in

After my neighbour Debra Mc reminded me of Demon Spawn, I’ve started to re-think my approach to parenthood!

I love kids, but I made a decision many years ago to make this option not viable for me(tubal ligation). I have a beautiful nephew who I adore, and if I do feel that I would like to raise a child, I would look into adoption of a little one who is the most in need.

Until then, I have a phat cat who demands most of my attention.

This is such a nice and honest post….and yes as Tanya says…more people should think this deeply about the concept of parenting…

And the need or want thing…totally.

We honestly didn’t know…we just felt incomplete as a couple..though we could probably have merrily stumbled along just the two of us too….but when we did have kids…we knew we had made the right decision…even though they have almost killed us.

But there is NO condemnation for those that chose not to have kids…..

But reading Beth’s post and comments…people are dammned if they do and dammed if they don’t..people criticize no matter WHAT you do….

Great post, Raul. I wish more people took the time out before they became parents to figure out WHY they wanted to take that role on. I’m so glad you’ve really thought it through, and I hope it becomes reality for you some day!
