I'm making this a different reply because I didn't want it to get caught up in all the shippy fun ( ... )

100% agreed with you. It was one thing when reliable contraception wasn't available, but now? There's just no excuse. I'm not anti-children, am trying to have one myself, but I'm talking one. Maybe two at most; right now I may be lucky to have one.

ciel_vert August 4 2007, 20:53:08 UTC

Exactly, no excuse at all. I didn't realize you were trying, I wish you the best. :)

celandineb August 4 2007, 21:04:05 UTC

LOL, I haven't exactly been trying recently given that my SO has been out of the country for the past 7 months! But he'll be back next week at last.

:O

That's awesome, I'm happy for you, I know how much you miss him. :)

celandineb August 5 2007, 02:30:17 UTC

Yeah, although it's going to be STRANGE to have him back! *g* But hey, someone else to mow the lawn...

mordyn4 August 5 2007, 02:25:46 UTC

Amen.

On the other hand, if we think about it positively, they're allowing eight couples who are childfree-by-choice to remain so, and they appear to be working on their ninth. Very public spirited, like.

Mind you, I *bet* that woman is looking forward to the menopause with a passion which verges on holy.

ciel_vert August 5 2007, 10:59:12 UTC

Um, no. I'm sorry, that logic does not work for me. How does this family excuse me and others from wanting to remain childless? I don't need an excuse for that. Not everyone is obligated to procreate, thank merlin.

I get the funny feeling that she'd like to keep having babies until she croaked, but that's just my take.

a_d_medievalist August 5 2007, 13:07:53 UTC

Well, it's what she says!

celandineb August 5 2007, 14:59:46 UTC

I think Meg was intending to be ironic...

ciel_vert August 5 2007, 15:14:23 UTC

Ah, ok. One of those things that doesn't come across well on the internets unless you know the person.

celandineb August 5 2007, 15:25:56 UTC

*g* Yeah, I know... that's why I mentioned it. I've known Meg for more than 5 years and she just wouldn't mean that seriously, but I could see that I could easily come across so, and I wouldn't want that misunderstanding! (So hopefully she'll look and see my reply to you...)

ciel_vert August 5 2007, 15:41:27 UTC

I just replied to her about reading her tone wrong, so she'll definitely get that. Thanks hon.

celandineb August 5 2007, 15:48:59 UTC

ciel_vert August 5 2007, 15:39:36 UTC

Cel has informed me that I probably read your tone and intent wrong and you were being ironic in your post. I can totally see that now, and I'm sorry I took it the other way, but not knowing a person can do that. :)
