Comments on: Let’s Have A Baby http://thebritgirl.com/2006/12/17/lets-have-a-baby/ The Interests of a Childfree Brit Living in Toronto Fri, 18 May 2012 03:02:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: timethief http://thebritgirl.com/2006/12/17/lets-have-a-baby/comment-page-1/#comment-608 timethief Sun, 17 Dec 2006 21:58:14 +0000 http://thebritgirl.com/2006/12/17/lets-have-a-baby/#comment-608 Thanks for bringing forward this fascinating article that did not surprise me one little bit. I have witnessed couples whose marriage was destroyed by having children. When it comes to building homes we are always cautious about having top notch site preparation done by experts. Then we have firm foundations put in place and the frame structure goes in next. If we build cautiously and with quality materials throughout we can expect the house to stand for generations. Well IMO marriages need the same attention. Only a fool would erect a flimsy structure on a poor foundation and then expect it to weather hurricanes. Unless and until both partners have worked together to build a firm foundation, a relationship that will stand the test of time. It makes absolutely no sense to tack on a nursery to the side of a tacky relationship. And even if the foundation is a good one as the study shows having children can cause the bough to break.
