I would be willing to bet that the guy who said that was adopted and has no 'real' family link, so he WILL make sure that he passes on SOMETHING of him to future generations (even if it is ignorance). I wouldn't be surprised if he had not had a boy, he would have had 10 girls until he had a boy for his namesake.

Sad, beyond words.

If my Dad told ME that, I'd never speak to him again. That's the saddest piece of entitled BS I've ever heard.

That post makes me mad on so many levels, I don't know where to start.

My DH was just telling me about his CEO that just had twins. The guy is 40. Poor guy!

He told my DH that he had no idea it was going to be like this. I'm sure it doesn't help that he has twins. My DH and I were talking about it this morning, and he thinks men are more passive about having kids, and usually don't care much either way. And once they figure it out, it's too late b/c the kids have already arrived.

DH's other friend shared a similar sentiment. He said it's so much more difficult than you can ever imagine. This is coming from a Dad that does most of the work. His wife flaked out after they had their daughter. Their relationship is on the rocks, and he can't count on his wife to do anything because she's so depressed and unhappy. She's jealous of her friends that get to go to NY for the weekend. And she told her husband she was jealous of my DH and I for moving to Florida. She said "everyone is moving on but us." I guess it didn't work out too well for her. DH's friend will do anything to avoid divorcing her b/c he doesn't want to put his daughter through a divorce. But I don't think it's good for their daughter to witness her parents strained and unhappy relationship. What will that teach her about relationships?


Save your own life - don't have kids!
