Re: question after reading \"running a household\" thread
 

It can be very hard to have a hardcore career going if you're having kids, especially for the first half dozen years or so, till they get into school. Unless you're perfectly fine with basically seeing them only on weekends and letting them be raised substantially by someone else, say a grandma or a nanny or something. A kid can be a dream and career-derailer like no other.

So I can see, and have seen, some especially ambitious couples put off childbearing for a good long time.

Gay people feel differently.



I guess you/they would have to.



No they wouldn't.

Last I heard, guys could not get other guys pregnant and girls could not get other girls pregnant. But I suppose these sort of couples could adopt or hire surrogates or something.

But my original statement was how I felt. I was not generalizing about the rest of you or some small subset of the population.

Your argument assumes they have to want to get married. Thanks for the anatomy lesson though.

My wife and I were a married couple both over 30 for about 4 months until we got pregnant.
