just wondering:Originally posted by the Bear:like today's Anderson Cooper Planet in Peril, already it has been said that the world has too few resources, too overpopulated (probably over the tipping point already) and the planet cannot handle the stress.. technology has a limit...
yet, our politicians (not just Singapore but every lea-duh on the planet) is pushing for population growth.. and growth..
would u choose to adopt instead of giving birth to your own children?
Actually this is one thing I have discussed with my hubby and my brother. one concern is that there are already so many children with dysfunctional families, orphans in the world - the supply is there - yet the demand for MORE CHILDREN cannot seem to help but continue. My hubby says he would like to have one biological child and he won't mind adopting more if we can afford it. I have friends who would consider only adoption due to this, and have chosen not to have their own children. -
this is hilarious

I wonder whether i'll be off on the day of the bbq.

It does not need a Mr or a Mrs to produce children or to adopt one.
-
lots of people decide on this prior to meeting their Mr or Mrs.... and then attempt to convince their partner about their beliefs.Originally posted by the Bear:no Mrs Bear at all to think about either
very often though, the decision not to have children lies in self interest more than anything. Not that its anything wrong - if parents are more interested in themselves than with kids, its definitely better for them not to have kids. -
hmmmm...... i used to think i want my own children but I can do without the father if he turns out crappy.,...Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:just wondering:

now i'm thinking it may be better to go without children.... hahahaha -
nodnod well.. Hmm... i think studies have shown that children definitely do better with a dad (normal human being, not another dysfunctional etc) than without.Originally posted by KittynMeow:hmmmm...... i used to think i want my own children but I can do without the father if he turns out crappy.,...

However, I think there are enough children out there with neither mom OR dad to flourish in a single mom only family.
But apparently, boys in single mom only families, tend to grow up with a lot of problems cos lack of male model figure. -
Shro,
There is another mindset about children.
its about fate. Sometimes when you do want children, you arent gifted with any, even if either would be parents are healthy and able to have children.
When you do not want children, you have the luck to have children and so you have them.
And there is those, who by fate, either by chance meeting, almost like 'clicked' can be parents and children.
I am looking for that click either with a person that can produce that child with me, or that click, that says I could be a suitable parent for that child. -
everytime i go into that thread, i worry abt what to bringOriginally posted by the Bear:this is hilarious

ya.. but i am wondering about the conscious decision to have or not to have, and to adopt or not to adopt..Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Shro,

due to reasons such as current overpopulation of the world, state of the world as of today and tomorrow. afterall you know your child will live on a depleted planet, and at the rate we are using resources - what sort of planet would that be when you are dead and your children still alive in 100 years time?
rather than the biological can or cannot. -
Single motherhood is something I've been increasingly thinking about recently..... (yes someone should be worried abt that)....Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:nodnod well..

But apparently, boys in single mom only families, tend to grow up with a lot of problems cos lack of male model figure.
But I agree.... there are enough children out there that urgently needs a foster parent rather than producing more....
*wondering am I brave enough to face the onslaught of stigma associated with single parenthood....* -
Maybe I am abnormal.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:ya.. but i am wondering about the conscious decision to have or not to have, and to adopt or not to adopt..

Whichever comes first. With or without that other partner.
If a child needs me, I want to be there. Whether he is adopted or borned.
There is high chance that I will take on any child first, and even have a child out of wedlock.....if I am so lucky.

no one wants to bring chicken wings at all?Originally posted by Ferret:everytime i go into that thread, i worry abt what to bring
-
I'm sure i can if i want to... the only thing is i have not decided whether i want to.... hahahahahahahaOriginally posted by viciouskitty74:....even have a child out of wedlock.....if I am so lucky.

Me....cant afford to.Originally posted by KittynMeow:I'm sure i can if i want to... the only thing is i have not decided whether i want to.... hahahahahahaha
But if the child does need to come to me, then come hell, high water & whatever fire.......must keep the child fed, at the very least. -

Can someone please bring green leafy vegetables?
a aluminum pan of sorts and mineral water? I rather boil veggies on the bbq fire. -

and please.....lets not have corn wrapped in aluminium foil and thrown into the charcoals like the sweet patato....
they always end up dry and burnt on one side.
please just let us boil the corns. drain it and rub on butter. -
-whispers back-
throw in whatever you have in the fridge or you can't go wrong with this:
honey, hoisin sauce, splash of dark soy or kikkoman, lots of pepper, splash of Jack Daniel's, whatever you feel like itOriginally posted by Ferret:-whispers-

Sigh....I can marinate.
I just dont have the fridge space.
Neither am I looking forward to transpotting the chicken wings from my fridge all the way to clementi.
