You want to come over for dinner Saturday? There is someone I would like you to meet!
Hobbies get boring and/or you get to old to do them, friends die, someone else takes over your work but, your family continues forever. There is nothing like holding your own child as they go to sleep or the smile of a grandchild. Nothing.
You, O-ring, would be one of the best of fathers. I believe that. Remember the order though. Find someone and fall in love first. With that I guess we are back to dinner on Saturday?
Who do I get to meet??? Thanks for the vote of confidence on the fatherhood thing. That kinda spooked me...hehe. Who knows, stranger things have happened I guess..landlocked once bubbled...

if the chooses to remain childless is purely ignorant. (i won't speak for men, since i'm not a man.)
times have changed since many of you have had your children. nowadays jokes(?)/comments(?) like these aren't uncommon. unfortunately neither are these actions.
on fatherhood: "i love my kids, the problem is..I dont know where they are at."
facing imminent fatherhood: "Move to a remote Caribbean island and leave no forwarding address..."
a woman who remains childless today may well be protecting both herself and her unborn children. after all, it's better to be self-reliant, than to rely on the unreliable.
edited to add:
as for misery, here's my definition -- when your husband of five years convinces you that having children is a good idea. so you get pregnant. so eight months later he disappears, vanishes, poof. (and takes your beloved dog with.....) the government can't find him -- apparently he's left the state and is working under a phony name. you have to face the ultimate betrayal; you have to deliver and raise an infant alone; and you have to figure how to work and care for an infant at the same time.

I'm a huge fan of other people telling me what I should/shouldn't do and what will/won't make me happy in life.
