I think it's a privilege to have a baby; it's a privilege to have a pet. When people know and understand this, then babies and pets are raised and loved the way they should be. When people think that having babies and/or pets is a right, then all kinds of poor nurturing choices are made and the babies/pets become abused, abandoned, etc. When folks see having kids and pets as a privilege, they assume much more responsibility for them than if they perceive having them as a right; maybe this is because humand tend to take their rights for granted a lot more than they do their privileges. People who take their privileges for granted are the ones I'd like to "smack upside the head" for they are usually spoiled.
Anyway, I wouldn't want to see a "Baby of the Day" site; pets are far more interesting! I don't have children because my husband and I prayed diligently about this decision prior to our marriage and we believe God did not place the desire or inclination to have children in our hearts. So we took the appropriate birth control measures, and after 22 years we have not regretted our decision one bit. (even though I took some heat from my family for not having children). Having said this, I have a lot of respect for people who have kids and love them and raise them. It takes courage to do this in todays' society! I don't much like working in the church nursery either, but I do it occasionally to keep myself in touch with young people.
Thanks for listening!
