What is such a blessing about doing something that almost everyone in this world will do at one point in their lives and stretching this planet even thinner than it already is?

I'm with ILR....When someone goes all placenta-brain like that my eyes stert to roll up into the back of my head as I try to figure out ANY way out of the conversation. I've lost a very dear friend because I flat-out told her (politely) that her baby didn't interest me and I didn't want it to be a large part of our friendhip. (As in, if she was coming over to my house for dinner the baby isn't welcome, etc.)

Here's a point that I'm going to make again....So many people here are so concerned about the overpopulation of unwanted pets. (Myself included!) A lot of us are very gung ho... "Adopt adopt adopt!!" Isn't it a bit hypocritical to say this and then not adopt skinkids too? There are so many in foster care. Don't breed, adopt! This is how we think of our dogs and cats, so why not ourselves? Especially since our own overpopulation problem is so much worse.

So what I'm trying to say is....I don't think babies are a blessing either. Now you've heard it twice!! *chuckles*
