I always try to be very respectful of people's life choices -- if a couple wants to have 10 children, that is fabulous for them, and I am glad that they are happy. So I always try to be very politic and deferential when talking about my choices. One reaction that always hurts me is when...

I've never been to a female gyn. I've been to 2 rude male gyns before my present doc. (I have a physical problem that makes gyn appts extremely unpleasant.) I came out of one office sobbing, because the doctor shot me nasty, annoyed looks through the whole exam, and before storming out of the...

*giggle* Yeah. ;) But that conflict will always come up when a family member asks. I have a huge extended family, with a lot of kids. So if I'm honest and cite being uncomfortable, they'll retort: "What you don't like MY kids?" Well, yeah they're my cousins, of course I love them. And it...

"What if your mother didn't want kids?" my father remarked one day. *Ouch!* But that is the only thing they have ever really said on the subject ever. They never thought I'd have kids anyway due to the doctor's predictions at birth. (I am disabled, but supposedly it is not genetic.)...

Both the stress level and that it would not be good for our marriage. Dh actively dislikes kids, which is ironic because he is actually very good with them when he has to be. If we're in a restaurant with a rambunctious child he will just roll his eyes, look at me and say: "Aren't you glad...

Well, people started telling me that I was not the maternal sort when I was 13. And then they got it into their heads that the only other possible thing I could do was be a nun. So there was actually tons of pressure on me for years to do that.

Cheers! Exactly the way I feel about it.

One of my relatives seemed genuinely confused about it. "You never want kids? Never? But why?" It was a question rather than a snide comment.

Hi, I had no idea this forum had actually been instituted until today. :) Dh I have been married for almost 5 years now. Neither of us are really very comfortable around children, and harbor no desire to have any. I've been self-concious about feeling like this, and have frequently answered...

Why hand out surveys if you aren't looking for honest responses?? To penalize you for expressing your solicited opinion is ridiculous!

;( ;( ;( So sorry WA -- he looks like such a sweet dog. I am crying for you both right now. :crossrc: :crossrc:

We have a similar problem -- he works every day except weekends till sometimes 9 pm every night. He can't take a vacation because everything explodes in his absence, so he takes vacation time in 2 day increments at the most. The days that we do have are spent visiting relatives so....it's over...

We are living with my parents now -- they were having problems in their apartment building, so we moved in together. It is a strain -- as other posters have said, you feel torn in 2 different directions. My parents are very pushy and impulsive. So we'll have to see how it goes the next few...

Isn't leaving the scene of a fatal accident illegal in general ....wouldn't this fall under that category? *confused?* There's really no word for this kind of absolute disregard for human life. They didn't even give the guy a second thought....I can't even comprehend that.

Warrior, I am so so sorry. ;( My prayers are with you and your family!!!! I weep with you. :(

I am so, so sorry holyorders. I have a cat too, and she means the world to me. :( I will be praying for you and Daniel. Is there anything the vet can do to help, to make him more comfortable? I also wonder how I am going to find the strength when it's time to deal with this. Bless you and...

Happy Belated Birthday Jellybean! :D

In the last episode, they had Data as a professor at Oxford or something. He seemed like he had a perfect emotion chip there, and he still had a kitty. :D That was a great role for him too. :)

The East coast of the US. I think there is a cable channel called G4 that might carry Star Trek episodes. But my cable has been messed up for months. Hopefully this week it will get fixed and I can check this out. (I was flipping channels one day and found TOS. But the channel is one of...

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I can watch Nemises without sobbing at the end. :D (I have it but haven't gotten around to watching it yet since I heard something happened to Data. :p
