I started feeling broody again... and then I registered for a law degree instead :-)
I wonder if the old-time attitudes to do with breeding was a subliminal "while if she dies in child bed I can get another" attitude at play? Stemming from people binding themselves in the not strictly speaking biologically convenient institute of marriage (don't get me wrong I admire those that marry and make it work... because the majority don't)...
Me, I am a proudly single mother and do find FOC (Father of Child ) to be something of a inconvenient nuisance. Most likely if there was a baby number 2, I would go all Erica Jong and find myself a "zipless fuck"!
I love my boyfriend dearly, but I have no desire to raise children with him. Love/relationship and babies (in my case) not being something that works for me... the idea of incorporating somebody else opinions into the rearing of my child/children terrifies--again I admire those that do!
