Personally, I think the fewer of you breeders having kids the better. I say wait forever! The world has too many people like you already AK.

white women better get on the stick and start churning 'em out because the tide is turning

Dear GagMe,
Actually i was thinking of having a Hispanic baby. Is that what you meant?

Here's a serious answer for you alice: Waiting until your 40s to have children is begging to have a handicapped child. Your chances for down syndrome increase exponentially the longer you wait.

Too many people are waiting to have children because it is not convenient for them. Please note that I say 'convenient' while stressing the 'eeee' noise very nasal like.

They would rather work more hours or take more vacations or acquire more stuff. If they want to live their lives only for themselves that is their business, but they are missing out.

And as for "is it a good idea for some people to avoid having children"? Yes. But those are the people who have 15 kids by 21 different fathers and drain our economy. Most people are perfectly capable of raising a child to be self-sufficient and healthy.

Have you seen Idiocracy? Definitely not Luke Wilson's brightest hour but it raises a legitimate point. Are intelligent people causing their own extinction?

By the way, I thought I didn't want kids until I had one. Now I want as many as I can afford to send to college. But again, that is something we Americans think about but many other cultures do not.

Alice you are a lucky woman to have such devoted followers and eager donors.

Dallas_47 Rocks,
Sorry about the email alerts, I think it's a hiccup in the system. Usually when this happens you'll get a bunch of email alerts all at once in a day or so. If you don't have them by mid-afternoon tomorrow please let me know.

SHUCKS :( !!

I love you anyway alice :)

I know people that didn't have children because they knew they wouldn't be good parents or were afraid they would turn out to be the overly abusive parents like they had. I think they made wise decisions.
Others didn't have them because they didn't want their life styles crimped. Good for them too.

If you don't want kids for whatever reason, that is your choice and you shouldn't let parents, friends or co-workers be rude to you because of that choice.

Just a matter of demographics. If more women of a certain race continue to refuse to have babies, that means the demographic of that particular race will decline. Think Russia...

Forced pregnancy? That would be about as bad as forced abortion.

They just used women over 40. Hispanic women had slightly more children. SHOCKA!
