Man marries woman. After the wedding, he laid down the following rules:
"I'll be home when I want, if I want and at what time I want -- and I don't expect any hassle from you. I expect a great dinner to be on the table unless I tell you that I won't be home for dinner. I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing and card-playing when I want with my old buddies and don't you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules. Any comments?"
His new bride said, "No, that's fine with me. Just understand that there will be sex here at seven o'clock every night...whether you're here or not."

Offsprings
to have or not to have...
Having been married for more than five years now, and recently moved to a nice spacious home
most people assume that my friend Antsy and her husband Tim will now (or should be) be planning for children. In fact, her in-laws assumed that they have been trying!
In a recent conversation with his parents, Tim almost gave them a heart-attack
Father: (Following on a conversation that his cousin and his wife had just been successful with IVF) If you and Antsy still dont have a child by next year you should go see a specialist.
X: Well
weve not been/are not trying.
Mother: OH
(with downfallen face). Shouldnt wait too long
On many separate occasions, Antsy has also been interrogated by her sister-in-law (and a few other family members) on why they (Antsy and Tim) havent yet have children which typically leaves Antsy frustrated and somewhat annoyed that the decision to have/not to have children is a discussion outside her marital life.
While many see it as the natural progression of life, children arent for everyone
and there are many interesting and differing views on Why have children.
Social pressure can also be a subtle yet strong influence on women in their choice to go ahead and have a child. If you are married, for example, there is often unspoken expectation on the part of family and friends that sooner or later you will have children. Not to do so is often regarded as selfish. It is interesting to note in this regard that there is no adequate word in the English language to describe a woman who positively chooses not to have a child. The words we use are childless, single, spinster all of which imply some kind of lack full article here.
From an academic and scientific standpoint, having too many children means creating more carbon footprints than Earth (and its resources) can sustain here. Which in some ways can be a chicken and egg situation no/less children could result in an ageing/dying population resulting in no/less resources, anyway
?
Anyhow, some of us have a need to sustain the family lineage, and for others its the almost altruistic thought of leaving a piece of love (or resource) behind. Here's another perspective to this deliberation
So, why do most people assume that everyone wants children or should have children or that life is supposedly less fulfilling without children? Not having children shouldnt be viewed as a less than fulfilled life, or vice versa...should it?

Where is it??
We all know that women and mens brains are wired differently, and work differently but lets not get into the science of it, and lets talk about the basic everyday encounters that each of us might have with the other half of the human species.
I was talking to my friend Antsy on IM (instant messaging) yesterday, when suddenly she did a grumpy face emoticon. She explained that her husband had just very casually walked into the room eating a new packet of gourmet snacks.
She: Oh! You found it
!
He: Why, were these hidden?
She: No, its at the usual place but if I had asked you to go get them, you wouldnt have found them.
He: Well
I can be very determined, my dear
when I want to.
Which then started our discussion on how a man (generally) cant find anything when you wanted him to, even if it was right under his nose! Most of us probably have at some point lived with the other-half, and Im sure you know what I mean.
When was the last time, you had to go find that new jar of peanut butter in the pantry? Or best yet example from my friend Cat husband opens fridge and (almost immediately) asks, Honey, where did you put the Vegemite? Cat walks over to the fridge and in a second whips out the jar (which was right at the front of the shelf)!
So, is it merely a case of if he wants to, he CAN find it
or is it just that women and men are wired so differently that we see things in different places literally

Apart from the obvious that one requires you to get a doctors help and go under the knife, and the other you can pretty much get it off the shelf (so to speak), is it that different?

Valentines day is a day to celebrate love with our partners or loved ones. Do we have to wait until the 14th of February to celebrate this? Shouldnt this be a spontaneous thing?
celebrated every so often instead of on a particular day?

I sometimes feel like this progressive world of ours is taking a slightly big step/several steps backwards in one way or more...
