I seriously believe that children mess a lot of things up in relationships....couples don't have time for each other bacause littly Billy needs to go to Hockey practice, the money might as well be a factor because back in the days you could have just hopped on a plan to Amsterdam with you significant other, but now you can't because Billy and Bobby need an airfare, food and a hotel bed as well....and this causes strains in a relationship...and what are you left with...2 kids, a box of Lego toys, a mortgage, a nagging significant other, a raggedy minivan...and one can't deny it, you see those parents when they go shopping with their kids...most of them look beat and worn out....left there to dream and reminsice what they once were or wanted to be. I think people in general should move away from traditional values of marrying, having kids etc...as it doesn't prove to be a succesful path....this being my controversial 2 cent, ya'll can go ahead and groan me now.
