It's in the freakin marriage ceremony.elpmis said:do you get that a lot?
I guess I want more than that, I don't want a life I just deal with, because that's what my first 25 years were all about. I want to thrive, be happy, have good times, and keep it simple.gottoys? said:But guess what - that's life and you just deal with it.

don't study the history of marriage then, because it's gonna point to just thatzengirl said:It's in the freakin marriage ceremony.
Did you know that you can get an entire marriage annulled by the Catholic church if you got married with no intention of creating children?
I want to get married in a church out of respect for my family and Ryan's family, but some of the rules and expectations that come along with it are kinda ridiculous. There's more to marriage than breeding, there has to be.
I'm just saying from the sound of her post and her tone that given a choice, I'd pick my life... no offense intended at all.elpmis said:so are you saying gottoy's life isn't any good?
so what about people that thrived, were happy, had good times and kept it simple for the first 25 years of their lives - do you think those might be some of the people who are interested in raising a family?zengirl said:I guess I want more than that, I don't want a life I just deal with, because that's what my first 25 years were all about.

When did I ever try to impose my choices upon the masses? My point is that the masses try to impose their choices upon me. This is my life, my body, my future, my money, my s/o, my freedom and my happiness. I'm not going out of my way to sacrifice all of that for a screaming shit bomb.elpmis said:so what about people that thrived, were happy, had good times and kept it simple for the first 25 years of their lives - do you think those might be some of the people who are interested in raising a family?
didn't say you were, but I'm just curious - you said you didn't thrive the first 25 years of your life, and that you wanted to do it nowzengirl said:When did I ever try to impose my choices upon the masses?

All the power to them, in fact, I'll even go as far to say that functional parents deserve my respect and admiration.elpmis said:didn't say you were, but I'm just curious - you said you didn't thrive the first 25 years of your life, and that you wanted to do it now
I'm just wondering what you think about those that are ready for kids after thriving already for their first 25 years
It's kind of like Jackson, he was never a kid in his youth, he missed out, so now he wants to be a kid now
I've got an Aunt who can't have kids because of medical reasons, she's always crying and talking about how terrible it iszengirl said:All the power to them, in fact, I'll even go as far to say that functional parents deserve my respect and admiration.
for really knowing what your priorities are.Thorn Bird said:when is that not a problem? seriously...no money is ever enough for anybody. we have money enough to put food on the table, diapers on the kid, and have never missed a bill payment. no, i don't have any college funds completed yet, but we have options there. no, we don't drive a nice car but i don't want one. no, i don't have a cleaning service, and i really want that, but doing my own work keeps me proud and worth something.
so, yes, money's always a problem because there's never enough. but i'd rather be poor than have spangelet not have a sibling. plus, being a mom is my job...it's what i do best....it's what i'm supposed to do. i can't stop at one. i don't want to.
