And they say the Patriarchy caused problems.
This is far worse than anything it could have unleashed , IMO. :nono:

Are these kits flying off the WalMart shelves yet?

Not every woman who wishes to be a parent wishes to marry ... that's all I meant.

But every child deserves a mother and a father, and no child should be born out of wedlock (or raised out of it).

Why?
God help parents who are a bad example for their children (1 Kin. 15:26).
Because apparently the *stay together no matter what folks* believe that children do not know the difference between a lie and the truth ...
Children know when there is trouble in paradise ...

Because it's the right way. Natural law supports it, and studies support it.
Isn't this part of why gay marriage is supported?

Initially yes, but the married couple will be living together and be in better position to handle the rigors of raising children because they live together.

It? :sigh:
You're trying too hard....not good for that enlarged heart you're attempting to portray.

Just quoting you. You referred to a child as an "it". That's not very Buddhist of you. I do have an enlarged heart due to years of running but it doesn't bother me.
Well, at least you realized your knife was dull and placed it back in it's sheath. There's hope for you yet. :thumb:

From someone who raised 2 natural children, 3 adopted kids and (anywhere from a few weeks to a few years each) dozens of foster kids, not to speak of the hundreds who made our home their second home, children need and deserve good parents and stable homes. The problems usually come because parents are selfish and put themselves first. This is just another example. Just "wanting a child" is not enough. If you are not willing to sacrifice your wants and desires for the good of your child then you should not pursue parenting. I know too many cases of mothers who put boyfriends ahead of their kids because of "her needs", sometimes to the point of ignoring abuse, even sexual. Selfishness destroys all relationships, and if you have not learned how to out others first then you will make a very poor parent. The primary duty of parenting is raising healthy, well-rounded children to maturity. You can't accomplish that if you have never made it there yourself. You are there to meet your child's needs; they are not there to meet yours.
Just last night a discussion accidentally led to the revelation that a child's life gets dragged around by the parents'. Typically the children don't get a vote on life-changing decisions and they are frequently slaves to their parents' whims. We should abandon the old concept that "children are resilient and can survive much". They shouldn't have to "survive" anything that is a choice. Surviving isn't thriving.
Oh, and yes, my wife is a child therapist.
