I recall, when I was probably around 15 or 16, my mom said that people who don't have any kids, are weird.

Like they treat their pets like their pets are their kids.

They are self absorbed because they never really had to care 24/7 about another human being.

Becoming a parent puts things into perspective.

It's no longer all about me. There is another human being who depends on me.

A baby will die without constant care. That changes people.

And you can't pay someone else to love your kids for you.

True.

But many of them would like to have children, they just physically can't for some reason.

Some go thru a lot of time, effort, and money trying to do in vetro and stuff like that. Or they try to adopt a child.

 

But there are some people who really just don't want any kids. They don't want to be bothered with the time and expense of raising kids. They just want to concentrate on a career, making money, going on fancy vacations, etc.

 

And then there are the religious types who say they are like Paul and choose not to get married because they want to concentrate on the ministry of Christ and spreading the gospel.

Not sure what's up with that.

Isn't that how we got all of the Catholic Priests that like to rape little boys?

When I was a kid, I put the kickstand down on my bike in the driveway and it put a hole in the blacktop that my dad had to fill in.

We had no air conditioning, just fans, and we sweated a lot.

Summers were always really hot in Chicago in the 1960s.

But they kept telling us about the upcoming Ice Age.
