In reply to the discussion: Why are men choosing not to marry anymore? [View all]left on green only
(1,484 posts)I used to endure tons of crapola from my parents for not providing them with the grandchildren they felt the were entitled to (presumably as the result of my not having married). Finally one day I told them flat out, "Ya know, I think I would enjoy being a parent, almost as much as you did."
End of problem, except there was a repercussion. In their will, they left twice as much to my brother as they left to me; because after all, he had two little hungry, screaming mouths to feed and educate.
But I had the last laugh when I let the good times roll by spending all of mine during a period of sex (I mean six) months. It was my private campaign of economic stimulus to an area of our society that is so often overlooked and under appreciated.
