The Cult of the Baby

Heh.  Given how churches in the West are taking a beating in attendance recently due to their complacent and hypocritical attitude, it doesn't surprise me that they're worried about being made a minority.

I came here (finally) to point out that the "you will regret not having kids when you are older" sentiment is not without merit and although not everyone will regret not having kids it MIGHT happen and at some point it will be too late.

Any merit it may or may not have is lost to the fact that it's always uttered as a threat.

Maybe it's just that many of the people around you are assholes. Or maybe you are too defensive and mistake a person making a honest good point into a threat. I simply cannot believe that people always mean it as a threat.

Um, askold, the main problem with "you will regret having kids when you're older" is that it implies that EVERYBODY eventually wants kids, and that adults younger than the speaker couldn't possibly know what they really want.
