After raising two children I must agree with the findings. Yes, there are some wonderful times, but when you put them on a scale with all the trials & tribulations, expenses, school issues, illnesses, injuries, doctor visits, dentist visits, college costs, drugs - legal and illegal, and all that goes with it. It's out of balance.

Childfree is the way to be!

To Have or Not To Have Kids???

2007-10-22T13:55:00.000-04:00

Have you ever wished you had children?
Or have you ever wished you didn't have children??
Do you some day want to have children?
Or do you want to live your life without having children??
Are you struggling with not being able to have children?
Or struggling with the challenges of having children??

Whatever side you’re on, you are not alone!

Are you getting pressure to have kids?
Or are the pressures of raising kids crushing you??
Does your spouse want kids, but you don’t?
Or are others making you feel “selfish” for not having kids??
Have you ever thought you “missed out” by not having kids?
Or do you think you'll miss out if you don’t have kids??

All these questions will be tackled head on – without all the political, or parental, correctness!

It’s time to discuss this subject logically and rationally. I welcome your comments, opinions, viewpoint, stories, or anything you would like to share.

Can Having a Baby Save Your Marriage?

“Maybe if we have a child. . .?” You may think it. You may say it. You may even believe it. Or, maybe you can’t admit you’re considering having a child to solve your marital problems.

If children come into the world with the burden of saving a marriage — as many do — they sense it. When problems continue — as nearly all do — children try and fix them. When the marriage dissolves — as it likely will — children feel responsible for it.

Is it fair to put such a burden on a child - to bring a baby into a family with the expectation of healing those that are responsible for caring for it? It’s a big load to put on such little shoulders.

A strong marriage can support a child - but a child can’t support a weak marriage.
