Coincidence?

So there I am – in hospital – having my miscarriage – and The Bull goes to get some snacks and a paper. The supplement in the Times (times2 Monday August 20 2007) is entitled; No thanks! Why life without children is a good choice. Corinne Maier (French) has written a book called No Kid:40 reasons not to have children.

Children are there to stop you enjoying yourself she says. I certainly agree with one point she makes: People who do not have children should not be called Childless they should be called Child Free.

So, some of the reasons not to have children;
Childbirth is torture,
You will become a mobile feeding bottle,
You will struggle to continue having fun yourself,
You will lose touch with your friends,
You will have to learn a language of idiots to communicate with your children,
Your children will kill your desire,
Children sound the death knell of the couple,
Having children is conformist,
Children are expensive,
When a child appears, the father disappears,
There are already too many children on the planet.
