Sorry again. Ever since Gawker Media adopted this stupid Kinja commenting platform, there have been a lot more trolls than ever before. I jumped to the conclusion. My bad.

Sometimes I really do hate the internet :)

Now I really think you are just trying to pick a fight.

ZOMG, get out of my head. Seriously, every single thing you've mentioned I've stressed about.

Apologies, sometimes it's hard to interpret written internet comments correctly. I thought you were being antagonistic.

I agree with you that men are now starting to see parenthood as a joint effort, and want to be more involved with their children. That's great, and slightly relieving (even if my bf still "jokes" that "changing diapers is mommy's job.").

Way to oversimplify my argument.

Do men realize this, though? The general tenor I've experienced is one of "oh, the baby is crying, he/she wants his/her mommy." The reality, which has been discussed on this site before, is that the vast majority of childcare responsibilities falls to the mother, especially when the children are infants. Men also…

I have a question for you, a serious question. What is so worthwhile about motherhood?

Well, I'm currently in my last semester of law school, and not married, so I don't have to make the "ultimate decision" just yet. I'm open-minded enough to consider the issue later. Though at 27, I realize that "later" may be sooner than I'd like.

Really what?

I wonder if men feel this sadness, etc., because they don't fully realize the full implications of parenthood. The bar for fatherhood is so low that maybe these men see "oh, I'll never be able to play catch with my son." I , on the other hand, worry about affording daycare, temper-tantrums, not getting enough sleep,…

whoopsado.....too much Family Law reading.

Well, adultery is a putative offense in the military:

Srsly.

Hey, my mom's an only child, and so is my boyfriend. I have no issues with only children, or waiting between children for things to settle down. I'm just trying to understand what these girls are thinking, and my speculation is that they want what they conceive to be "normal" - which is a nuclear family with kids…

Hey, if it works out, sounds great. I'm 27, an not married. I'll be an "older" mother if I ever get around to it, which sounds exhausting.

At least according to the show, Leah *took out* her IUD in order to start a family with Jeremy. Leah knows what she's doing. They may be the dumbest decisions, but she's actively making them.
