it's fucking madness, i tell you!! seven years with the same man and all i have to show for it is a loving and respectful relationship full of trust!!!

aside from the general risk factors associated with getting pregnant later in life, i have a ton of family risk factors to consider. plus i was thinking that if i'm still leaning towards no kids at 30 then odds are i'm not going to suddenly want them at 32. like i said, it's a rough outline, if at 28 we're leaning…

it wasn't even an issue until i turned 25, but all of a sudden it's the biggest pain in the ass. i almost got into a yelling match with my cousin at our most recent family gathering because she keeps bugging my fiance and i about having kids.

this. a hundred times this. i LOVE working with kids. I love working with kids the way some people love having kids. I love watching them grow and learn. I love counseling them through tough stuff and watching them become happy and healthy rather than another depressing statistic. i. love. working. with. kids.

my fiance and i are both 25. he's firmly in the "no babies" camp, and i know i want to have children in my life but am leaning towards not wanting to be a mother. i'm leaning heavily, but i wouldn't declare myself child-free just yet. we've agreed to this rough outline.

maybe i just lived a reckless childhood, but is there a reason eight year olds can't operate a toaster oven? obviously they'd need a certain amount of supervision, but isn't that the case with an easy bake oven as well?

I would piss myself with the giggles if the librarians of Berkeley decided to protest this article by having sex in coffee shops.

it's also possible that the kid is moving just to see if the dog will follow, but i'm not sure.

that's enough, tim burton. why don't you go relax for a little bit....maybe draw a comic book or something.

he seems to like being near the dog, but doesn't like the dog being all up in his business.

i can only assume they had sex that would blow my mind. good for them.

i can't tell the difference, assuming it's a good quality condom.

wrong. slap bracelets are making a comeback!

agreed. i've taught a lot of people how to shoot. they do it better when they're calm and clear headed, even just being upset about their last shot missing the mark is enough to make their aim worse. i don't understand what makes people think the teacher would have been calm enough to use a gun under those…

during the summers, i teach archery. my fiance teaches air riflery. we both grew up around archery and guns. we both love target shooting. neither of us hunt, but we enjoy working on our shooting skills.

femicide sounds like a spray you use to get rid of feminists, but maybe i've just been reading the comments too much lately. androcide reminds me of robots. still, thanks for teaching me two new words!

is it genocide if only one gender is targeted? is there a different word for that?

this is gonna sound really corny, but i don't see how such a loving mother could have anything but a gorgeous smile.

i run a before/after school program for elementary school kids. when i'm not at work, i am not helping anyone with their kids. if i see your kid licking ice cream off the ground, i'm just gonna laugh.
