: Oh, I never said that it doesn't enter my mind now, my point was just that it didn't enter into my mind when considering whether or not to have children.
i wasn’t directly commenting on your thoughts, i was using them as a springboard for my own vanity!
after you have done away with such petty concerns as overpopulation and familial budgets, the only real question should be: can your body take the invasive and wrenching chaos that is a pregnancy. this goes for both men and women btw...although women will identify immediately with the physical repercussions of pregnancy, men with children know the risks you take whilst living with a woman ‘with child.’
: My daughter is still very young... I think it's going to be very interesting (maybe not in a good way) to see how I react the first time I perceive someone to be trying to hurt her.
if you can use my experience to form a groundwork for this, don’t waste your time trying to kill everyone in a 5 mile radius around you in a preemptive first strike. as attractive a plan as that is, its ultimately self-defeating... as i post this from maximum security lockup.
: LOL, but you've got to be careful about writing down that 'why aren't you a boy' shit. You never know when that might come back to haunt you.
i've never been a huge fan of foresight, and i don't see why i should start now. anywho, its just the internet, no one reads this stuff, right?
right?
