bias seems to be from those of us that don't want to have kids. I would
have thought more than 50% of the posts would be arguing FOR children.
Nothing drives me crazier than when we explain that we are newlyweds, we
always get the same response: "when are the kids coming?"
When did it become a requirement to have children in this country? Anyone
that has been to an AppleBees during a busy lunch can attest that we
already have enough of the little ankle biters...
Oops, that turned into a rant that I never intended. Back to work, dammit!
