Even so, that's assuming shes banging only 1 guy. And as we know, women cheat just as much as men do.
Well no, but I am assuming she has the decency to only bang one guy in a 24-48 hour period, which I guess I shouldn't assume. Lol

awwww. I never thought about it like that. Damn, the gulf between men and women is even further than I thought.
If you're trying for a baby as a couple and have a week 5 or 6 ultrasound, you can get a pretty good idea of the conception day. But, if you pass that window, yeah there is no way. So, you should insist on that early ultrasound!
Those stats are NUTS.
I have one son and a daughter on the way, due next Friday actually. These two were not planned, but were sort of happy accidents, albeit inconvenient timing on the both of them...
I was adopted myself and I think it is a wonderful option. Because of how things ended up working out for me, I doubt I will ever adopt, but only because I don't think I can handle having more than 2 kids. I want to be done with all of that now. 2 is enough for me.
I always wondered what the experience of pregnancy and child birth would be like when I was younger and I'm grateful that I got to experience that. It's something I would probably forever be curious about if it never happened to me.
Totally should not assume that! LMAO!Well no, but I am assuming she has the decency to only bang one guy in a 24-48 hour period, which I guess I shouldn't assume. Lol
Disturbingly, 25 out of 1 million infanticides are committed by biological fathers. And 500 out of 1 million infanticides are committed by step-fathers. This an extremem measure from another fact that men are less likely to treat other children as well as their own.
. In fact, I'm terrified of reproducing myself because I guess I don't love myself enough to want to see myself externalized and a part of another
*I've always been afraid of not loving my own biological child. So that statement is not to suggest that having a biological child guarantees loving them, although many parents seem to suggest that. Then again, how many neglectful parents spend time reflecting on their own parenting unless they are complaining (or the neglect is out of their control).
I would wonder what made you decide this is the reason you don't want to have children?
I get along well with children though. I would be hesitant to be involved with someone who had children but it wouldn't be a deal breaker. In Native tradition, we don't see any difference between adopted and biological. There is no reference to "step" children or "step" parents---in fact, I find that the most disgusting, disrespectful terminology ever. If I chose to care for a child as my own, they would be my child, period. At this point, no biological children but there is always the possibility of choosing to parent a child.
I would only consider adopting if it was a blood relative. I would adopt or take guardianship of my nieces and nephews (on both my side and husband's side of the family.) I prefer biological.
I remember there was a time when I thought I would want to adopt or foster children. This was before college internship with DFCS and a psychiatric facility. No thank you. Yes I saw how children can be easily bounced around from foster placement to foster placement, but the public is never given the details why. Some details are enough to turn your stomach, like a teenage girl hopping in bed with the husband while he's taking a nap and he awakes to her unbuttoning her blouse saying that he is going to have sex with her or she'll tell authorities that he tried to rape her. Don't even get me started with the kids who hoard their excrement. :S
Children who do not have diagnosable illnesses are very easily adopted, and most often by their foster families.
Yes it is the same with siblings.
Additionally, to take it one step further, there is no differentiation between those you choose to call family either---brother/sister or mother/father (grandmother/grandfather)(parent/child). Sometimes one might say "I took them as a sister" or somesuch if it seems someone has a question (generally because they know your family or their family). Natives believe that you can "take" people on as relatives because you say they are your family--so they are. There is no need for some type of official relationship like a marriage or even an official relationship between any other members of each of your families.
Many times there is no distinct hierarchy between relatives either. In my family, those of an age of me are my cousins--no first, second or third crap...those of my parents age are aunts/uncles (regardless of supposed familial connection--like they would be considered cousins by white man way) and those of my grandparent's age are grandma or grandpa. The kids of my cousins are my nieces and nephews. I didn't know the supposed "true" nature of my famiial ties until I got older and learned how geneology works in judeo-christian terminolgy.
That sounds really dreadful. It is probably better in a way to adopt a young baby but babies are not as available. I would not really agree with you about children with no diagnosable illnesses being easily adopted. I think that some racial minority children and children with physical disablities have difficulties being placed. I most likely will never meet a suitable partner or have biological children and I am very committed to adopting children if and when I can afford to. Biology does not matter to me at all.
